From Chains to Monolayers : Nanoparticle Assembly Driven by Smectic Topological Defects

We see that in compounds of the same length the tendency to form a smectic phase is greater in the case of a less symmetric shape. This conclusion was

operation of Bardeen-Herring sources but the most efficient way is by means of dissociation of the so-called trapped lattice dislocations (TLDs) which were

The temperature dependence of the critical stress and strain required to induce mechanically one phase from the other, allows the Landau parameters of the transition to

2014 Models are proposed for a modulated smectic phase (Ã) and the cubic smectics (D and a nameless phase) that are based on the material properties of the single

- The crystal structure of IBPBAC is a tilted bilayer with a distorted hexagonal packing of the molecules in each half layer. The S, and S, structures are

Its elastic interaction energy with the limiting surfaces is calculated by taking into account ngorously the surface tension y This formula is used to discuss the dislocation
