Elastic constants of the hexagonal phase as a function of the lattice spacing, a. (A) The bulk modulus, calculated based on the osmotic stress data (solid curve) or on the Monte Carlo simulation results (solid symbols). (B) The deflection length (the average displacement between successive collisions along the chain within the confined lattice). (C) The fluctuations in the nematic director.
