摘要：
The pitch and handedness of the helix have been measured in three substances possessing the helical C*, Cγ* and Ca* phases. A comparison between measurements on free-standing films and conventional samples between glass plates is made, showing a smearing-out influence from the glass surfaces in the second case. Hence the free-standing film gives a closer approximation to the intrinsic bulk property.
