a, d, g In the first row, the measured SANS difference patterns are shown. b, e, h In the second row, the simulated SANS difference patterns are shown, after the optimization of the bending angles. c, f, i The third row presents the comparison between the quantitative SANS difference intensity obtained in the experiment and in the simulation, suggesting the reliability of the fitting process. j Real-space SkX model in the absence of a thermal gradient. k Rotated SkX model (obtained from fitting the data) at t = 3585 s (equilibrium bending after removing the gradient). l Evolution of ψ and θ as a function of time, covering the gradient off-on-off cycle.
