Switch of lamellae orientation in slits
A. Ciach, M. Tasinkevych
Effect of hydrophilicity of the confining walls on lamellar phases in oil-water-surfactant mixtures is studied in a slit geometry. In contrast to strongly hydrophilic or hydrophobi…

Effects of confinement on self-assembling systems
A. Ciach, V. Babin, M. Tasinkevych
Systems in which particles can self-assemble into mono- or bilayers can form variety of stable and metastable structures on a nanometer length scale. For this reason confinement ha…

Field-Theoretic Approach to Ionic Systems: Criticality and Tricriticality
A. Ciach, G. Stell
A Landau-Ginzburg functional of two order parameters (charge-density and mass-density deviation ) is developed in order to yield a field theory relevant to ionic lattice gas…
