| Abstract(in English) | Equilibrium shapes of smectic-A domains in an isotropic phase formed on a substrate surface have been observed using a polarizing microscope. To determine the shape of the smectic-A domains, we simulated polarizing-microscope images of some of the possible structures. From a comparison between experimental and simulated images, it is concluded that the shape formed on the substrate surface is a hemisphere, The hemispherical smectic-A domains are shown to be equilibrium shapes theoretically by taking account of the fact that the transition temperature, from the isotropic phase to the coexisting phase of smectic-A and isotropic phases, is dependent on the molar concentration of the liquid crystal mixture. |
