Abstract

Nematic and cholesteric lyotropic liquid crystals (lyomesophases
based on micelles) with positive and negative diamagnetic
aniiSotropy wexe studied by polaxizing microscopy. The textures
of nematics oriented in a magnetic field confirm the disc- ·
like and rodlike structure of the lyomesophases. The textures
of cholesterics show a characteristic helical structure where the
pitch of the helix depends on the composition and temperature.
