Abstract

Spatially inhomogeneous states of orientational order parameter of molecular cryocrystals due to topological factors (dislocations, boundary, etc.) are considered. It is shown that the width of such states is of the order of atomic spacing. The orientations in the domain wall and the boundary layer, as well as the surface energy of domain walls of various types are calculated numerically.
