Abstract
The existence in a binary system constituted of a three phenyl ring cyano compound mixed with TBBA (p=latm) of a smectic A-smectic A transition line has been reported [1]. By microscopic observation, it is impossible to detect this SA-SA transition because the two smectic A, called <inline>1</inline> and <inline>2</inline> are perfectly isomorphous. In fact, this line was first revealed by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry and then by diamagnetic susceptibility measurements [2].
