One way to confirm the crystal nature of these ordered domains, observed in our laboratory by HSOM and DLS techniques, is to perform synchrotron WAXD experiments at the temperatures much higher than the regular "melting points" of these materials. We hope that in the future we will be able to perform this kind of measurement.
