According to the phenomenological theory of Landau-Ginzburg-de Genns and a simplified model of Lech Longa
this work got the system free energy within the four-order self-consistent cumulant expansion. The relationship between the specific heat and reduced temperature was researched. It is found that blue phase Ⅲ to isotropic phase transition ends at a critical point. So blue phase Ⅲ is a isotropic phase.
