A First Example of a Lyotropic Smectic C* Analog Phase Design, Properties and Chirality Effects / by Johanna. R Bruckner.
In this thesis Johanna Bruckner reports the discovery of the lyotropic counterpart of the thermotropic SmC* phase, which has become famous as the only spontaneously polarized, ferroelectric fluid in nature. By means of polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic experiments sh...
