- Аннотация: The report elucidates for the first time a significant effect of a strong magnetic field combined with thermal treatment on the texture of thin liquid-crystalline films in a smectic state. The metastable texture generated in the magnetic field was arrested via the crystallization of mesogens while they cooled to room temperature. The effect was demonstrated on a series of wedge-shaped amphiphilic mesogens based on 1,2,3-tris-(dodecyloxy)benzene (TDOB): asymmetric 2,3,4-tris-(dodecyloxy)benzenesulfonic acid (TDOBSH) and its sodium (TDOBSNa) and pyridine (TDOBSPyr) salts. The thermotropic properties and the structure of the liquid crystal phases of the synthesized compounds were studied using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It was shown that, depending on the type of counterion, the synthesized mesogens formed different supramolecular structures. The largest effect of the intense magnetic field was observed for the pyridine salt for which an ordered primitive cubic phase texture was generated upon the normal application of the magnetic field with respect to the film. In contrast, for the corresponding acid, an improvement of the gyroid cubic phase orientation was detected with the magnetic field oriented along the film. A highly ordered columnar phase of the sodium salt was affected only minimally by the magnetic field.
