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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aAnalytical chemistry 606 $aCrystallography 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aAnalytical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006 606 $aCrystallography and Scattering Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25056 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aAnalytical chemistry. 615 0$aCrystallography. 615 14$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aAnalytical Chemistry. 615 24$aCrystallography and Scattering Methods. 676 $a530.429 700 $aBruckner$b Johanna.
