Abstract Measurements of the relative static permittivity e of octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) in the smectic A, the nematic and the isotropic phases between 22°C and 140°C are reported. The resolution of the measurements was better than 0.01% and the temperature stability was better than 0.01 °C. Detailed measurements have been carried out near the AN and NI transitions. For the AN transition. no discontinuity in e|| or e| was observed, which is consistent with the second-order nature of this transition in 8CB. From the dielectric anisotropy in the N-phase, a critical exponent β ≃ 0.25 was obtained for the temperature dependence of the order parameter. This value of β is in support of the hypothesis of quasi-tricriticality for this transition. In the isotropic phase of 8CB, a pretransitional anomalous maximum in e was observed near T N1- The same effect was also measured for two other materials with cyano-end groups (undecylcyanobiphenyl and pentylcyanophenylcyclohexane). For two compounds without a cyano-end g...
