	abstract = {The diffusion of both water and surfactant components in aqueous solutions of the nonionic surfactant "C12E6"-which includes hexagonal, cubic, lamellar, and micellar mesophases-has been studied by pulsed-field-gradient NMR. Diffusion coefficients were measured in unaligned samples in all of these phases. They were also obtained in the hexagonal and lamellar phases in oriented monodomain samples that were aligned by slow cooling from the micellar phase in an 11.7 T magnet. Measured water and soap diffusion coefficients in the NMR-isotropic cubic and (high-water-content) micellar phases as well as diffusion anisotropy measurements in the magnetically aligned hexagonal phase were quantitatively consistent with the constituent structures of these phases being identical surfactant cylinders, with only the fraction of surface-associated water varying with the water-soap molar ratio. The values of the water and soap diffusion coefficients in the oriented lamellar phase suggest an increase in defects and obstructions to soap diffusion as a function of increasing water content, while those in the low-water-content micellar phase rule out the presence of inverse micelles.},

	abstract = {Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed for a simple dipolar fluid under planar Couette flow. Under this shear flow, the fluid{\textquoteright}s spatial structure becomes distorted, and the pair distribution function is anisotropic. At low shear rates, the dipoles respond to this distortion by orientationally ordering along an axis where the fluid structure is most compressed, giving a shear-induced ferroelectric fluid state. At high shear rates above a critical value, the orientational order decreases. We argue that this disordering can be attributed to the onset of large fluctuations in the director{\textquoteright}s orientation about the compression axis at the critical shear rate. We also observe the director can "hop" between "up" and "down" directions along the compression axis. These hops are fast and infrequent events. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.},
