Abstract
A variety of new critical phenomena and phase behavior becomes accessi ble in chiral liquid crystals. Reported here are heat-capacity results for isotropic-blue phase III and smectic-C-hexatic smectic-I critical points and calorimetric data for systems exhibiting twist-grain-bound ary TGB(A) and TGB(C) phases.
