We measure the degree of orientational order in the recently discovered splay-nematic liquid crystal (NS) phase by X-ray scattering techniques. We find the NS phase to be more ordered than the classical nematic phase, although still nematic-like.

Periodic structures of phases with orientational order of molecules but homogenous electron density distribution: short pitch cholesteric phase, blue phase and twist-bend nematic phase, were probed by resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSoXS) at the carbon K-edge.
