Topological defect coarsening in quenched smectic-C films analyzed using artificial neural networks
Ravin A. Chowdhury, Adam A. S. Green, Cheol S. Park +2
Mechanically quenching a thin film of smectic-C liquid crystal results in the formation of a dense array of thousands of topological defects in the director field. The subsequent r…
Nanostructural polymorphism in the low-birefringence chiral phase of an achiral bent-shaped dimer
Khoa V. Le, Michael R. Tuchband, Hiroshi Iwayama +3
Polymorphism, the phenomenon that a species can exist in many discrete forms, is common in nature, such as hair colors in an animal species, flower colors in a tree species, and bl…
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…
Observation of a uniaxial ferroelectric smectic A phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Pierre Nacke +12
We report the smectic , a new liquid crystal phase of the ferroelectric nematic realm. The smectic is a phase of small polar, rod-shaped molecules which form two-dimensi…
Explosive electrostatic instability of ferroelectric liquid droplets on ferroelectric solid surfaces
Raouf Barboza, Stefano Marni, Fabrizio Ciciulla +7
We investigated the electrostatic behavior of ferroelectric liquid droplets exposed to the pyroelectric field of a lithium niobate ferroelectric crystal substrate. The ferroelectri…
