Abstract
Direct smectic-A to isotropic phase transition is studied by means of Landau theory. The theory predicts the first order behaviour of the smectic-A to isotropic phase transition. The temperature difference T AI -T* is also calculated from the scaling equation of state and compared with the nematic to isotropic phase transition
