Notes

  1. 1.

    Archaea possess lipids with two hydrophilic moieties, which leads to different molecular self-assembly.

  2. 2.

    This is the case for lipids with phosphatidylcholine headgroups (such as DPPC), where this tilted phase is denoted as Lβ′-phase.

  3. 3.

    Phase transitions can also be induced by other thermodynamic parameters, such as pressure or concentration.

  4. 4.

    This is the reason why the extent, to which the width of a Bragg sheet increases with \( q_{||} \) (the reciprocal space analogue to an in-plane wavelength), increases along with the de Gennes parameter.

  5. 5.

    Within the frame of this thesis and for the explanations below it is not necessary to consider the scattering into directions which are not part of the plane of incidence.

  6. 6.

    Often the asymptotic q −4 z factor is replaced by the reflectivity curve of an ideal interface between the semi-infinite media. The results of this “hybrid” description come close to those of the full dynamical treatment in some cases.

  7. 7.

    Such a parameterization is commonly used to describe interfaces with self-affine roughness [40], but cannot describe all types of surface topologies (see Sect. 4.1.1).
