We present a study of the range molecular interactions inside layers in smectic phases A and I of PBnA (phenyl-4 benzylidene 4'-alkylaniline) liquid crystals family. The purpose of this work is to determine the correlation length of the molecules' gravity centers in existing domain of smectic phases and at the transition between them. We used X-rays in-plane peaks of the pattern diffraction of aligned sample by a magnetic field.
