Spontaneous polar and chiral symmetry breaking in ordered fluids -- heliconical ferroelectric nematic phases
Jakub Karcz, Jakub Herman, Natan RychÅowicz +5
It is known that the chiral interaction described by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) term lead to the plethora of topological structures of magnetic spins, such as helical or skyrmion…

Ferroelectric nematics: Materials with high permittivity or low resistivity?
NataÅ¡a VaupotiÄ, Tine Krajnc, Ewa Gorecka +2
Two models have recently been proposed for a description of dielectric spectroscopy measurements of ferroelectric nematics (NF) in thin planar capacitors. The polarization-external…

Nematic and smectic phases with proper ferroelectric order
Grant J. Strachan, Ewa Górecka, Jadwiga SzydÅowska +2
A material showing a sequence of three ferroelectric liquid crystalline phases below the paraelectric nematic phase has been synthesized and studied. The polar order of molecules a…
