Double Splay Nematic Order in Confined Polar Fluids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Aile Sun +5
In this study, we demonstrate that when a ferroelectric nematic is confined between two glass plates coated with ionic polymers, a modulated phase emerges in a narrow temperature r…

Half-integer Topological Defects Paired via String Micelles in Polar Liquids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Yaohao Song +7
Ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystals present a compelling platform for exploring topological defects in polar fields, while their structural properties can be significantly a…
