An Experimental Setup for X‐ray Investigations on Higher Ordered Liquid Crystals

Abstract

Abstract X‐ray studies on microdomains of liquid crystals with higher ordered smectic phases require a technique providing a relative high resolution of the X‐ray reflexes. A diffractometer technique for such X‐ray investigations on liquid crystals and also a special oven, containing permanent magnets for getting aligned microdomains, is described. Some examples for the application of this technique on bulk samples and free standing films are discussed.
