Very recently, by using a combination of the Landau phenomenological theory and maximum entropy method, we have succeeded in clarifying the detailed aggregation structure of the Im3m-Cub phase: Ozawa, K.; Yamamura, Y.; Yasuzuka, S.; Mori, H.; Kutsumizu, S.; Saito, K.

43. For this purpose, it is necessary to control the molecular orientation with respect to the surface of the electrodes, but unfortunately, we were unable to establish both planar and homeotropic orientation for ANBC-22 using the usual surface treatments.
