Antiferroelectric Smectic Ordering as a Prelude to the Ferroelectric Nematic:Introducing the Smectic Phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Eva Korblova +9
We have structurally characterized the liquid crystal phase that appears as an intermediate state when a dielectric nematic, having polar disorder of its molecular dipoles, transit…
Ideal Mixing of Paraelectric and Ferroelectric Nematic Phases in Liquid Crystals of Distinct Molecular Species
Xi Chen, Zhecong Zhu, Mitchell J. Magrini +6
The organic mesogens RM734 and DIO are members of separate molecular families featuring distinct molecular structures. These families, at the present time, are the only ones known…
Towards the cellular-scale simulation of motor-driven cytoskeletal assemblies
Wen Yan, Saad Ansari, Adam Lamson +3
The cytoskeleton -- a collection of polymeric filaments, molecular motors, and crosslinkers -- is a foundational example of active matter, and in the cell assembles into organelles…
