Abstract We report an investigation by X-ray diffraction of the cybotactic cluster formation near the nematic-smectic A phase transition of TBBA liquid crystal. The results are discussed on the basis of the Landau theory developed by de Gennes and McMillan. The dimensions of the cybotactic clusters are evaluated as a function of the temperature.
