In addition to the improved analysis of diffraction data, this paper provides the volumes of the component groups in the lipid molecule from simulations. The analysis also indicates the errors involved in using the Gaussian approximation to distribution functions (but notice that the labeling of the two curves in Figure 4b in the paper is reversed).

Polymorphism of chain ordered phases of this fully hydrated lipid of biological relevance was found and compared with others of the glycosphingolipid and glycoglycerolipid families.

Phys Rev E. 61:2000;5668-5677. Now that the vapor pressure paradox has been resolved, aligned fully hydrated samples were produced that give scattering patterns that unambiguously show ripple phase patterns, including the mixture of long and short ripples produced upon cooling.
