Dipole-dipole correlations in the nematic phases of symmetric cyanobiphenyl dimers and their binary mixtures with 5CB
Evangelia E. Zavvou, Efthymia Ramou, Ziauddin Ahmed +4
We report on the temperature dependence of birefringence and of the static dielectric permittivity tensor in a series of binary mixtures between the symmetric, bent-shaped, 1",9"-b…
Polarisation-driven magneto-optical and nonlinear-optical behaviour of a room-temperature ferroelectric nematic phase
Evangelia Zavvou, Melanie Klasen-Memmer, Atsutaka Manabe +2
Nematics with a broken polar symmetry is one of the fascinating recent discoveries in the field of soft matter. High spontaneous polarisation and the fluidity of the ferroelectric…
Soft Metamaterials: Adaptation and Intelligence
Colin Scheibner, Michel Fruchart, Vincenzo Vitelli
We provide a perspective on soft metamaterials and biomatter with a special emphasis on future research directions at the interface between material intelligence and adaptation.
Light scattering by a metallic nanoparticle coated with a nematic liquid crystal
Vassilios Yannopapas, Nikolaos G. Fytas, Vicky Kyrimi +3
We study the optical properties of gold nanoparticles coated with a nematic liquid crystal whose director field is distributed around the nanoparticle according to the anchoring co…
The Twist Bend Nematic: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Edward T. Samulski, Alexandros G. Vanakaras, Demetri J. Photinos
We review the physics underlying Meyer's conjecture of how macroscopic-scale twist and bend conspire within the Frank-Oseen elasticity theory of nematics to create a heliconical ar…
Oscillations of small bubbles and medium yielding in elastoviscoplastic fluids
Marco De Corato, Brice Saint-Michel, George Makrigiorgios +3
We investigate the radial oscillations of small gas bubbles trapped in yield-stress fluid and driven by an acoustic pressure field. We model the rheological behavior of the yield-s…
