| Abstract: | Single crystals of an Ia d bicontinuous direct cubic phase formed by a non-ionic surfactant in water are investigated using high-resolved X-ray diffraction. The shape of the Bragg peaks confirms the existence of a 3D long-range order inside the cubic phase. A weak diffuse scattered intensity signal is measured very near the Bragg peaks. We attribute this signal to thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) and we give an estimation of the contribution of elastic waves to this TDS. Received 4 May 2000 |
