Fig. 4: Phase-transition behavior of CnSS derivatives (n = 6, 8, 10, or 16).
From: Ferroelectric columnar assemblies from the bowl-to-bowl inversion of aromatic cores
a DSC curves of (i) C6SS, (ii) C8SS, (iii) C10SS, and (iv) C16SS, where transformations between the S1, S2, and M1 phases were reversible in the T-cycle. b POM images of C16SS at S1 (T = 300 K), S2 (T = 320 K), and M1 (T = 330 K).
