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…
Giant electroviscous effects in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +2
The electroviscous effect deals with the change in the viscosity of fluids due to an external electric field. Here, we report experimental studies on the electroviscous effects in…
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…
Defect-polymorphism controlled electrophoretic propulsion of anisometric microparticles in a nematic liquid crystal
Devika V S, Dinesh Kumar Sahu, Ravi Kumar Pujala +1
Nontrivial shape of colloidal particles create complex elastic distortions and topological defects in liquid crystals and play a key role in governing their electrophoretic propuls…
