A surface of the phase diagram of the lyotropic cholesteric mesophase of potassium laurate/1-decanol/H2O/l-N-lauroyl potassium alaninate (l-LAK) is studied by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction as a function of the relative molar concentration of l-LAK and temperature. Cholesteric discotic and calamitic phases are observed and also a large domain of biaxial cholesteric phase. The inverse pitch as a function of the l-LAK relative molar concentration presents a linear behavior in the doping range studied. The l-LAK doping and its influence in favoring cholesteric calamitic phase formation are discussed in terms of the packing of the l-LAK amphiphile in the bilayer and the orientational fluctuations of the intrinsically biaxial correlation volumes. |
