Optical Control Of Mass Ejection From Ferroelectric Liquid Droplets: A Possible Tool For The Actuation Of Complex Fluids
Stefano Marni, Raouf Barboza, Annamaria Zaltron +1
We report on the optical control of the recently observed electromechanical instability of ferroelectric liquid droplets exposed to the photovoltaic field of a lithium niobate ferr…
Walk ferroelectric liquid droplets with light
Stefano Marni, Giovanni Nava, Raouf Barboza +2
We show that the motion of ferroelectric liquid sessile droplets deposited on a ferroelectric lithium niobate substrate can be controlled by a light beam of moderate intensity irra…
Superscreening and polarization control in confined ferroelectric nematic liquids
Federico Caimi, Giovanni Nava, Susanna Fuschetto +7
The combination of large spontaneous polarization and fluidity makes the newly discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phase (NF) responsive to electric fields in ways…
Explosive electrostatic instability of ferroelectric liquid droplets on ferroelectric solid surfaces
Raouf Barboza, Stefano Marni, Fabrizio Ciciulla +7
We investigated the electrostatic behavior of ferroelectric liquid droplets exposed to the pyroelectric field of a lithium niobate ferroelectric crystal substrate. The ferroelectri…
Pitch tuning induced by optical torque in heliconical cholesteric liquid crystals
G. Nava, F. Ciciulla, O. S. Iadlovska +3
Heliconical cholesteric liquid crystals are expected to be more sensitive to torque induced by light field since their structure allows both bend and twist in molecular orientation…
