X-ray diffraction reveals the consequences of strong deformation in thin smectic films: dilation and chevron formation
Jean de Dieu Niyonzima, Haifa Jeridi, Lamya Essaoui +14
Smectic liquid crystals can be viewed as model systems for lamellar structures for which there has been extensive theoretical development. We demonstrate that a nonlinear energy de…
