Critical splay fluctuations and colossal flexoelectric effect above non-polar to polar nematic phase transition
Abinash Barthakur, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +1
The recent discovery of nematic liquid crystals with polar order (ferroelectric nematic) has created immense interest. Despite intensive research, several physical properties of th…
Nontrivial electrophoresis of silica micro and nanorods in a nematic liquid crystal
Muhammed Rasi M, Archana S, Ravi Kumar Pujala +1
We study DC and AC electrophoresis of silica micro and nanorods in a thin film of a nematic liquid crystal. These particles induce virtual topological defects and also demonstrate…
Dynamics of a sheared twist bend nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +1
We study the flow behaviour of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal. It shows three distinct shear stress () responses in a certain range of temperatures and shear rat…
Topological phase transitions in 2-dimensional bent-core liquid crystal models
B. Kamala Latha, Surajit Dhara, V. S. S. Sastry
Spontaneous onset of a low temperature topologically ordered phase in a 2-dimensional (2D) lattice model of uniaxial liquid crystal (LC) was debated extensively pointing to a suspe…
A novel method for measuring electric field induced dipole moments of metal-dielectric Janus particles in nematic liquid crystals
Dinesh Kumar Sahu, Surajit Dhara
Janus particles are special types of nano or micro particles possessing at least two surfaces with distinct physical or chemical properties. The most studied Janus particles are th…
Smectic-like rheology and pseudo-layer compression elastic constant of a twist-bend nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, P. Kula, Surajit Dhara
In twist-bend nematic (N\textsubscript{TB}) liquid crystals (LCs), the mean molecular orientation exhibits heliconical structure with nanoscale periodicity. On the mesoscopic scale…
