Instantaneous mapping of liquid crystal orientation using a polychromatic polarizing microscope
Mojtaba Rajabi, Oleg Lavrentovich, Michael Shribak
Polarizing microscopy brought about many advancements in the science of liquid crystals and other soft materials, including those of biological origin. Recent developments in optic…
Soliton walls paired by polar surface interactions in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Bijaya Basnet, Mojtaba Rajabi, Hao Wang +5
Surface interactions are responsible for many properties of condensed matter, ranging from crystal faceting to the kinetics of phase transitions. Usually, these interactions are po…
In-situ measurements of twist and bend elastic constants in oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +2
Unique electro-optical properties of the oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) stem from its heliconical director structure. An applied electric field preserves the single harmonic…
Dynamic control of speed and trajectories of active droplets in a nematic environment by electric field and focused laser beam
Mojtaba Rajabi, Hend Baza, Hao Wang +1
One objective of active matter science is to unveil principles by which chaotic microscale dynamics could be transformed into useful work. A nematic liquid crystal environment offe…
Elastic and electro-optical properties of flexible fluorinated dimers with negative dielectric anisotropy
Greta Babakhanova, Hao Wang, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
We report the synthesis and the temperature dependencies of optical, dielectric, and elastic properties of four homologous dimeric mesogens in the uniaxial nematic (N) phase.
Directional self-locomotion of active droplets enabled by nematic environment
Mojtaba Rajabi, Hend Baza, Taras Turiv +1
Active matter comprised of self-propelled interacting units holds a major promise for extraction of useful work from its seemingly chaotic out-of-equilibrium dynamics. Streamlining…
