Columnar liquid crystal with a spontaneous polarization along the columnar axis.

TL;DR: A fan-shaped molecule, carrying hydrogen-bonding amide groups in proximity to its polar aromatic core, self-assembles into a columnar liquid crystalline mesophase, which unprecedentedly possesses a spontaneous macroscopic polarization along the columnar axis.

Maximum-entropy-method analysis of neutron diffraction data

TL;DR: In this paper, three approaches to the maximum-entropy analysis of neutron powder diffraction data are examined, and it is concluded that the MEM applied to the rutile data is superior to conventional Fourier transformation and, in spite of the longer computation time, is very well worthwhile.
