Abstract

Two dimensional phase transition and three dimensional propagation of layer structures of liquid crystal film are investigated by using surface second harmonic generation method. We have found a distinctive first order phase transition between a monolayer phase and a stable 3-layer phase of 8CB liquid crystal film.
