Corona patterns around inclusions in freely suspended
smectic films.
Spatial arrangement of the director axis [??] in three commonly occurring phases of liquid crystals:
smectic, nematic and chiral nematic (often termed cholesteric) liquid crystals.
The parent materials are alluvial deposits or alluvial-colluvial pediment deposits or rocks that produce a lot of
smectic clay when they weather (limestone and basalts, for example).
He cites more than 20 publications since 1985, many of which he coauthored, that describe similar effects in the types of liquid crystals known as
smectic and ferroelectric.

Much has happened in the field since the cloth edition was published in 2003, but rather than trying to stuff all the new developments between paper covers, they focus on nematic photo-elastomers and
smectic elastomers.
The ligands are found to exhibit interesting
smectic phases (mostly tilted phases) in addition to nematic phases and polymorphism, while the complexes showed orthogonal
smectic A,
smectic B, and
smectic E phases.
They all settle into a liquid-crystal phase known as
smectic A, in which the molecules line up to form orderly layers, standing erect in each layer.
