Smectic mesophase that has a periodic in-plane density variation.

Note 1: The recommended mark to designate a modulated smectic mesophase is a superior tilde (~).

Note 2: See Figs (a) and (b) for illustrations of the molecular arrangements in SmSmà and SmC̃ mesophases.

Fig. Schematic drawing of the modulated smectic mesophases (a) Smà and (b) SmC̃.

Note 3:  The Smà mesophase is also known as a centered rectangular mesophase or anti-mesophase. The dimensional space group is cmm in the International System.

Note 4:  The SmC̃ mesophase is also known as an oblique or ribbon mesophase. The dimensional space group is pmg in the International System.
