In high-resolution adiabatic scanning calorimetry (ASC) experiments, data for the temperature dependence of the specific enthalpy,h(T), and of the specific heat capacity,cp(T), are simultaneously obtained, from which the order of the phase transition and critical behaviour can be evaluated. ASC was applied to study the nematic to ferroelectric nematic phase transition (N–NF) in the liquid crystal molecule 4-[(4-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]phenyl 2,4-dimethoxybenzoate (RM734). The N–NFwas found to be very weakly first order with a latent heat Δh= 0.115 ± 0.005 J/g. The pretransitional specific heat capacity behaviour is substantially larger in the high-temperature N phase than in the low-temperature NFphase. In both phases the power-law analysis ofcp(T) resulted in a critical exponentα= 0.50 ± 0.05 and amplitude ratioANF/AN= 0.42 ± 0.03. The very small latent heat and the value of α indicate that the N–NFtransition is close to a tricritical point. This is confirmed by a value of the order parameter exponentβ≈ 0.25, recently obtained from electric polarisation measurements. Invoking two-scale-factor universality, it follows from the low value ofANF/ANratio that the size of the critical fluctuations is much larger in the NFphase than in the N phase.
