Biaxial nematic lyomesophases of potassium laurate/I.decanol/D2O have been studied by X-ray diffraction technique using conventional and synchrotron source radiation. The procedure used for orienting the biaxial phase is described, together with the use of ferrofluid. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed biaxial symmetry in reciprocal space.
