Freedericskz Transitions in the Nematic and Smectic ZA Phases of DIO
J. T. Gleeson, S. N. Sprunt, A. Jákli +2
The remarkable material DIO presents fascinating behaviors. It has been extensively studied as one of the first materials exhibiting a ferroelectric nematic phase. However, at high…
Ferroelectric Nematic Droplets in their Isotropic Melt
Kelum Perera, Rony Saha Pawan Nepal, Rohan Dharmarathna +6
The isotropic to ferroelectric nematic liquid transition had been theoretically studied over one hundred years ago, but its experimental studies are rare. Here we present polarizin…
Multiple ferroelectric nematic phases of a highly polar liquid crystal compound
Rony Saha, Pawan Nepal, Chenrun Feng +5
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals represent not only interesting fundamental science, but they also hold promise for storage capacitors with high power density or new informati…
Dispersion of third-harmonic generation in ultrastrongly coupled organic cavity polaritons
Bin Liu, Michael Crescimanno, Robert J. Twieg +1
Organic cavity polaritons are bosonic quasi-particles that arise from the strong interaction between organic molecular excitons and photons within microcavities. The spectral dispe…
Properties of the Broad-Range Nematic Phase of a Laterally Linked H-Shaped Liquid Crystal Dimer
Young-Ki Kim, Randall Breckon, Saonti Chakraborty +6
In search for novel nematic materials, a laterally linked H-shaped liquid crystal dimer have been synthesized and characterized. The distinct feature of the material is a very broa…
A highly-ordered, high mobility organic semiconductor grown from a mesophase: A test of polaron band theory
Naresh Shakya, Chandra Pokhrel, Brett Ellman +4
We find that the hole mobility of the crystal smectic phases of the liquid crystal 1,4-di-(5-n-tridecylthien-2-yl)-benzene increases exponentially with decreasing temperature. Whil…
A completely cofacial organic semiconductor
Brett Ellman, Robert Twieg
Crystals of 1,3,5-tripyrrolebenzene (TPB) contain closely packed, perfectly cofacial stacks of benzene rings with large wavefunction overlap, making it an interesting candidate org…
