Outline of Final Research Achievements	In order to clarify the effect of existence of alkane layers to smectic liquid crystals diffusion, we measured anisotropic diffusion coefficients of swollen smectic liquid crystal phase. The results show that the existences of alkane layer disturb the diffusion of layer normal direction. But the existence of alkane layer not much affect to the interlayer diffusion.
