R Bruckner1st ed. 2016.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (130 p.)Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053"Doctoral Thesis accepted by the University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany."3-319-27202-0 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Introduction -- Aims and scope of this thesis -- Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals -- Materials and experimental techniques -- Results and discussion -- Summary -- References -- Appendix A -- Appendix B.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 she firmly establishes aspects of the structure of the novel lyotropic liquid crystalline phase and elucidates its fascinating properties, among them a pronounced polar electro-optic effect, analogous to the ferroelectric switching of its thermotropic counterpart. The helical ground state of the mesophase raises the fundamental question of how chiral interactions are "communicated" across layers of more or less disordered and achiral solvent molecules which are located between adjacent bi-layers of the chiral amphiphile molecules. This thesis bridges an important gap between thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals and pioneers a new field of liquid crystal research.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Chemistry, Physical and theoreticalAmorphous substancesComplex fluidsAnalytical chemistryCrystallographyPhysical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Analytical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006Crystallography and Scattering Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25056Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Analytical chemistry.Crystallography.Physical Chemistry.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Analytical Chemistry.Crystallography and Scattering Methods.530.429Bruckner Johanna.
