Interpretation of some Yb-based valence-fluctuating crystals as approximants to a dodecagonal quasicrystal
Tsutomu Ishimasa, Marek Mihalkovič, Kazuhiko Deguchi +2
The hexagonal ZrNiAl-type (space group: P-62m) and the tetragonal Mo2FeB2-type (space group: P4/mbm) structures, which are frequently formed in the same Yb-based alloys and exhibit…

Structure of smectic defect cores: an X-ray study of 8CB liquid crystal ultra-thin films
Jean-Philippe Michel, Emmanuelle Lacaze, Michel Goldmann +3
We study the structure of very thin liquid crystal films frustrated by antagonistic anchorings in the smectic phase. In a cylindrical geometry, the structure is dominated by the de…
