On the emergence of molecular tilt in a ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal with broken director-inversion symmetry
Aitor Erkoreka, Mauricio Vera-Arévalo, Alberto Concellón +5
The origin of some mesophases of the ferroelectric nematic realm is not yet well understood. In this work we study the highly polar liquid crystal MIO, a close structural analogue…

Cooperative behavior of molecular motions giving rise to two glass transitions in the same supercooled mesophase of a smectogenic odd liquid crystal dimer
David O. López, Josep Salud, María Rosario de la Fuente +2
In the present work, a detailed analysis of the glassy behavior and the relaxation dynamics of the liquid crystal dimer α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yloxy)-ω-(1-pyrenimine-benzylidene-4'-…
