Observation of the Chiral and Achiral Hexatic Phases of Self-assembled Micellar polymers

We report the discovery of a thermodynamically stable line hexatic (N + 6) phase in a three-dimensional (3D) system made up of self-assembled polymer-like micelles of amphiphilic molecules. The experimentally observed phase transition sequence nematic (N) [Image: see text] N + 6 [Image: see text] tw...
