Mirror vs. inversion symmetry breaking in mesogenic dimers: NTB vs. NF phase
Małgorzata Bakiera, Jakub Karcz, Damian Pociecha +4
The recently discovered twist-bend nematic NTB and ferroelectric nematic NF phases are distinct examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking in liquid crystals. Here, we report the oc…

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…
