Abstract: Small angle neutron scattering experiments were conducted on a temperature-induced phase transition in a ternary microemulsion composed of AOT (dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt), D2O and n-decane and the results were compared with those of pressure-induced one. Although the static features of both the temperature- and the pressure-induced phase behaviour were similar, a temperature dependence of its characteristic repeat distance at high temperature was quite different from a pressure dependence of that at high pressure. Neutron spin echo experiments were also performed on both the phase transitions. The dynamics of the high temperature phase was different from that of the high pressure phase. These results indicated that the effect of pressure on the structural formation was different from that of temperature.
