An active hydroelastic liquid crystal phase of a fluttering ferroelectric nematic
Xi Chen, Cory Pecinovsky, Eva Korblova +5
Polarization flutter, produced by an applied AC electric field drives an equilibrium ferroelectric nematic () liquid crystal (LC) through a transition into a dissipat…
Freely Suspended Nematic and Smectic Films and Free-Standing Smectic Filaments in the Ferroelectric Nematic Realm
Keith G. Hedlund, Vikina Martinez, Xi Chen +4
We show that stable, freely suspended liquid crystal films can be made from the ferroelectric nematic () phase and from the recently discovered polar, lamellar $\math…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic realm: Comparing RM734 and DIO
Bingchen Zhong, Min Shuai, Xi Chen +6
The current intense study of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals was initiated by the observation of the same ferroelectric nematic phase in two independently discovered organic…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic material RM734
Xi Chen, Min Shuai, Bingchen Zhong +6
We report a transition from the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal () phase to a lower-temperature, antiferroelectric fluid phase having reentrant isotropic symmetry ()…
Superscreening and polarization control in confined ferroelectric nematic liquids
Federico Caimi, Giovanni Nava, Susanna Fuschetto +7
The combination of large spontaneous polarization and fluidity makes the newly discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phase (NF) responsive to electric fields in ways…
Dielectric spectroscopy of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals: Measuring the capacitance of insulating interfacial layers
Noel A. Clark, Xi Chen, Joseph E. Maclennan +1
Numerous measurements of the dielectric constant of the recently discovered ferroelectric nematic () liquid crystal (LC) phase report extraordinarily large values of $ε^\p…
