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…
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…
