Domain structures appear in ultrathin magnetic films, if an easy-axis anisotropy, favouring the direction perpendicular to the film, overcomes the shape anisotropy. We will study the nature of the magnetic ground state and how the different…
Chiral liquid crystals exhibit in-plane spontaneous polarizations, however in their smectic phase the primary order parameter is a tilt vector associated with molecular rotations around the long molecular axis parallel to the director. The…
