Title: Topological Lifshitz line, off-specular scattering, and mesoporous materials
Abstract: Ordered phases formed by surfactants in water solutions, and used in processes as templates for the synthesis of mesoporous exhibit topological fluctuations. From the results of the Carlo simulations of the lamellar phase we have established a between topological fluctuations and the behavior of the scattering intensity. We have defined the topological lint. At this line the peak position in the off-specular intensity moves from the zero (lamellar phase with fixed to the nonzero value of the scattering wave vector (lamellar phase with fluctuating topology).
