TL;DR: It is shown how various well-known asymptotic power laws in S(q) are obtained from the above theory, and the theory is compared with experimental results on x-ray scattering from a polished Pyrex glass surface.

TL;DR: Mise en evidence de the structure par des etudes de diffusion de rayons X haute resolution d'echantillons minces smectiques C prepares entre deux lames solides par refroidissement a partir de the phase smectique A.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed x-ray scattering study on the rotator phases of normal alkanes is presented, and a new tilted rotator phase is characterized and the temperature and chain length dependence of the distortion, tilt, and azimuthal order parameters are determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rare surface freezing phenomenon is observed in normal alkanes, using x-ray and surface tension measurements, and an ordered monolayer forms on the surface of the liquid alkane at temperatures up to 3 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C above the bulk freezing temperature.

TL;DR: High-resolution, small-angle, synchrotron x-ray-scattering techniques were used to determine the phase diagram, structure factor, and pair distribution function for a charged colloidal suspension from 6% to 30% volume fraction, showing substantial deviation from predictions resulting from a screened Coulomb interaction.
