title: Modulated SmA(b) phases formed by anchor shaped liquid crystalline molecules.
abstract: Bent-core molecules with a linear alkyl chain in the bay position (anchor shaped molecules) form new liquid crystalline phases combining periodicities with different coherence lengths in distinct directions; in these LC phases the molecules are organized on average orthogonal in modulated layers (ribbons or patches) with restricted rotation around the long axis, thus representing modulated SmA(b) phases.
