Figure 3
50 wt% of Triton X-45 in water after heating to 333 K and subsequently cooling to room temperature without magnets. The lamellar crystalline domains close to the sample/glass interface tend to orient parallel to the capillary wall. (a) Two-dimensional scattering pattern from the middle of the capillary and (b) close to the glass wall. (c) Intensity of the 100 reflection integrated over 2θ and displayed versus the azimuth. I and III show signals close to the capillary wall (left and right, respectively), II from the centre. The individual curves have been displaced along the axis for better visibility. (d) Schematic representation of the preferential alignment at the interface. D is the director of the lamellar domains. The size of the beam was 0.5 mm and is shown schematically.
