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…
Self-assembly of short DNA duplexes: from a coarse-grained model to experiments through a theoretical link
Cristiano De Michele, Lorenzo Rovigatti, Tommaso Bellini +1
Short blunt-ended DNA duplexes comprising 6 to 20 base pairs self-assemble into polydisperse semi-flexible chains due to hydrophobic stacking interactions between terminal base pai…
Self-assembly of bi-functional patchy particles with anisotropic shape into polymers chains: theory and simulations
Cristiano De Michele, Tommaso Bellini, Francesco Sciortino
Concentrated solutions of short blunt-ended DNA duplexes, down to 6 base pairs, are known to order into the nematic liquid crystal phase. This self-assembly is due to the stacking…
