Abstract

We report the ratios of bend to splay (k₃₃/k₁₁) elastic constants of 4'-n-heptyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (7CB), (2-hydroxy)-p-ethoxybenzylidene-p'-butylaniline (OH-EBBA) and two of their mixtures which exhibit the induced smectic A phase. k₃₃/k₁₁ goes down to ~0.6 for the composition which is rich in OH-EBBA.
