Frank-Read Mechanism in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Cheng Long, Matthew J. Deutsch, Joseph Angelo +4
In a crystalline solid under mechanical stress, a Frank-Read source is a pinned dislocation segment that repeatedly bows and detaches, generating concentric dislocation loops. We d…
Explicit Demonstration of Geometric Frustration in Chiral Liquid Crystals
Cheng Long, Jonathan V. Selinger
Many solid materials and liquid crystals exhibit geometric frustration, meaning that they have an ideal local structure that cannot fill up space. For that reason, the global phase…
Electric field-induced interfacial instability in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Marcell Tibor Máthé, Bendegúz Farkas, László Péter +3
Studies of sessile droplets and fluid bridges of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal in externally applied electric fields are presented. It is found that above a threshold, the…
Ferroelectric Nematic Droplets in their Isotropic Melt
Kelum Perera, Rony Saha Pawan Nepal, Rohan Dharmarathna +6
The isotropic to ferroelectric nematic liquid transition had been theoretically studied over one hundred years ago, but its experimental studies are rare. Here we present polarizin…
Soliton walls paired by polar surface interactions in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Bijaya Basnet, Mojtaba Rajabi, Hao Wang +5
Surface interactions are responsible for many properties of condensed matter, ranging from crystal faceting to the kinetics of phase transitions. Usually, these interactions are po…
In-situ measurements of twist and bend elastic constants in oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +2
Unique electro-optical properties of the oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) stem from its heliconical director structure. An applied electric field preserves the single harmonic…
Anticlinic order of long-range repulsive rod-like magnetic particles in 2D
Xiaoyu Zheng, Obeng Appiagyei Addai, Peter Palffy-Muhoray
In the field of liquid crystals, it is well-known that rod-like molecules interacting via long-range attractive interactions or short-range repulsive potentials can exhibit orienta…
Violation of Ericksen inequalities in lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals
Cheng Long, Jonathan V. Selinger
By analyzing elastic theory for nematic liquid crystals, we distinguish three regimes of elastic constants. In one regime, the Ericksen inequalities are satisfied, and the ground s…
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal thermo-motor
Marcell Tibor Máthé, Ágnes Buka, Antal Jákli +1
A thermal gradient-induced circular motion of particles placed on ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal sessile drops is demonstrated and explained. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes…
