| Abstract: | Tilt-driven phase transitions between hexatic smectic phases: SmF-HexB and reversed HexB-SmF have been studied in compounds belonging to two enaminoketone derivative homologue series. The tilt angle order parameter has been measured and its temperature dependence near the phase transition point has been described by applying mean-field model. For both phase sequences the tricritical points have been observed on phase transition lines in binary mixtures of respective materials having first and second order phase transitions between hexatic phases.
