72. Interference colors result from the transmission of particular wavelengths of light when using a white light source of illumination. The extent of transmission of a particular wavelength of light depends on the retardation. Δnd, where Δn is the birefringence, and d is the thickness of the birefringent film. Light propagating through the liquid crystal will be extinguished under conditions where Δnd = j = 0, 1, 2,... where λ is the wavelength of light. Interference colors are divided into orders according to the magnitude of the retardation; 0-550 nm (first-order), 550-1100 nm (second order), 1100-1650 nm (third order). (Hartshorne, N. H., Stuart, A. Crystals and the Polarizing Microscope; Edward Arnold & Co., New York, 1970.)
73. The linearization for the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation is valid because we assumed a surface potential of -7 mV for our calculations (under the conditions as described in Section 3.2). This corresponds to a nondimensional potential where (eψ/kT)≪1.
74. The Na(1s) signal is easily detected by XPS because the Na has a large Scofield cross section. (Scofield, J. H. J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. 1976, 8 129).

76. Gold was deposited at a fixed angle of incidence of ∼ 35-40° in order to obtain a uniform, in-plane orientation of 5CB (and MBBA) for measurements using the crystal rotation technique.
77. 15SH assumed a planar orientation that is independent of the cell thickness.

79. 10SH without any pH pretreatment, we observed homeotropic alignment for 5CB doped with greater than 2 mM NaI.

84. 10SH pretreated at pH 3.2 (COOH moiety) or pH 10.6 (90% COONa, 10% COOH) using benzonitrile that contained 0-1 mM added tetrabutylammonium bromide as the solvent. To seal the flow cell of cell of the AFM without contaminating the benzonitrile, we used a Kalrez (DuPont, Delaware) fluoropolymer O-ring (not a silicone O-ring).
