We propose a simple phenomenological model which is able to account for the
various twist grain boundary (TGB) phases, including the recently discover
ed undulating twist grain boundary-C* (UTGB(C)*) phase. In the UTGB(C)* pha
se, the smectic C* (SmC*)-like blocks and the grain boundaries separating t
hem undulate to form a two-dimensional square lattice perpendicular to the
TGB helix axis. We treat the grain boundaries separating adjacent smectic b
locks as interfaces with an anisotropic interfacial tension. At moderate ch
iral strengths we find a TGB(A)-TGB(C)-SmC* sequence. As the chiral strengt
h is increased this goes to the sequence TGB(A)-UTGB(C)*-SmC*. Such sequenc
es have been observed experimentally.
