different layer spacings in smectic-A phases is used to calculate the x-ray scattering intensity I(q) in the mono- layer (A1) phase. There may also be a
temperature dependence of this first order diffraction maximum corresponds to a small diminution of the layer spacing from 41.81to 41 1 with decreasing temperature, and this
119] Let us note that another model introducing spheres of radius R~ with a constant density in volume in~tead of a constant superficial density leads to a parabolic profile in
Moreover, the description of the nature of these phases must also take into account an extra feature observed on some X-ray powder patterns : the splitting of the ring
In the cubic phases of the cyclohexane system and of the low water region of the l-hexene system, our results clearly demonstrate that the molecules of surfactant lie on a
In particular a phase coexistence appears in the non virgin sample (Fig. 2a, 2b, 3), whereas the melting process in the virgin sample is associated with the
The present model, which is an extension of the one developed by Lennard- Jones and Devonshire, uses a twin lattice, along with the conjugate lattices, and hence allows for two
The inltlal state of the alloys investigated was $he eta phase and by suitable heat treatments the different intermediate metastable phases can be produced and monitored using
