Use of the 6-methylsalicylic-acid-synthase gene as a discriminating marker between Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus flavipes
Full text linkTemperature difference between bulk and surface transition in freely suspended smectic films
Full text linkWe report an ellipsometric study of freely suspended films of a chiral liquid-crystal compound possessing the phase sequence smectic-C–smectic-A–isotropic with a very broad (67 K) smectic-A phase range. We observe a smectic-C–smectic-A surface transition which is situated more than 60 K above the bulk smectic-C–smectic-A transition temperature. Possible reasons for this unusually large temperature shift are discussed
