Abstract
⺠The physical properties of a chiral liquid crystal have been studied. ⺠The compound shows a blue phase, cholesteric (N*), TGBA and SmA* phases. ⺠From X-ray scattering, long range ordering is observed at N*-TGBA phase transition. ⺠Strong SmA* fluctuations are observed at the TGBA-SmA* phase boundary. ⺠The contribution of soft mode in paraelectric SmA* phase could only be detected.
