Abstract: We explain theoretical peculiarities of the smectic-A-hexatic-B equilibrium phase coexistence in a finite-temperature range recently observed experimentally in free-standing smectic films [I. A. Zaluzhnyy et al., Phys. Rev. E 98, 052703 (2018)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.98.052703]. We quantitatively describe… read more here.
