The role of terminal groups in non-chiral rod-like compounds on the formation of polar fluids
MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Mateusz Filipow +5
The emergence of ferroelectric mesophases in non-chiral liquid crystal (LCs) has sparked fundamental interest in the molecular mechanisms governing polarity. In this study, we inve…
Polar Nematic Phases with Enantiotropic Ferro- and Antiferroelectric Behavior
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Natalia Podoliak +4
The recent discovery of a new ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystalline phase became of utmost interest for the liquid crystal (LC) and the whole soft and condensed matter fiel…
Ferroelectricity in the nematic liquid crystal under the direct current electric field
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, PaweÅ Perkowski, Jakub Karcz +1
We investigated the electrical properties of the liquid crystal compound, known as an RM734, exhibiting a ferroelectric nematic phase. The influence of alternating (AC) and direct…
Dual tunability of selective reflection by light and electric field for self-organizing materials
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Martin Cigl, PaweÅ Perkowski +3
The oblique helicoidal structure is formed in right-angle cholesterics under the applied electric field. The electric field changes the pitch and cone angle but preserves the singl…
The balance between paraelectricity and ferroelectricity in non-chiral smectic homologs
Dorota WÄgÅowska, MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Robert Dzienisiewicz +4
Non-chiral liquid crystals (LCs) exhibiting ferroelectricity, distinguished by their dynamic responsiveness to external stimuli and high spontaneous polarization, provide renewed i…
Electrically tunable total reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
An oblique helicoidal state of a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChOH) is capable of continuous change of the pitch P in response to an applied electric field. Such a structure reflect…
