In this thesis Johanna Bruckner studies the invention of the lyotropic counterpart of the thermotropic SmC* part, which has develop into well-known because the purely spontaneously polarized, ferroelectric fluid in nature. via polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic experiments she firmly establishes features of the constitution of the unconventional lyotropic liquid crystalline section and elucidates its interesting homes, between them a reported polar electro-optic influence, analogous to the ferroelectric switching of its thermotropic counterpart. The helical floor kingdom of the mesophase increases the basic query of the way chiral interactions are "communicated" throughout layers of kind of disordered and achiral solvent molecules that are positioned among adjoining bi-layers of the chiral amphiphile molecules. This thesis bridges an incredible hole among thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals and pioneers a brand new box of liquid crystal research.

The crystallography of aperiodic crystals employs many techniques which are usually utilized to periodic crystals. the current textual content has been written lower than the idea that the reader understands options like area team symmetry, Bragg reflections and vector calculus. This assumption is influenced through the popularity that readers attracted to aperiodic crystals will usually have a heritage within the strong country sciences, and through the truth that many books can be found that care for the crystallography of tronslational symmetric buildings at either introductory and complex degrees.

Example text
The SmC phase basically possesses the same structure as the SmA phase with the difference that the mesogen are on the average tilted by the tilt angle θ with respect to the layer normal k. Hence, the director n is also tilted by θ. The tilt angle increases with decreasing temperature until reaching a saturated value. Typical values for the saturated tilt angle lie between 25° and 35° [12]. If the high temperature phase is a N phase, the phase transition to the SmC phase is usually of 1st order.
