Critical splay fluctuations and colossal flexoelectric effect above non-polar to polar nematic phase transition
Abinash Barthakur, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +1
The recent discovery of nematic liquid crystals with polar order (ferroelectric nematic) has created immense interest. Despite intensive research, several physical properties of th…
Giant electroviscous effects in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
M. Praveen Kumar, Jakub Karcz, Przemyslaw Kula +2
The electroviscous effect deals with the change in the viscosity of fluids due to an external electric field. Here, we report experimental studies on the electroviscous effects in…
Increased intermolecular interactions and cluster formation at the onset of the twist-bend nematic phase in thioether cyanobiphenyl-based liquid crystal dimers
Katarzyna Merkel, Barbara Loska, Yuki Arakawa +3
Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and quantum chemistry calculations, based on density functional theory (DFT) were used to study the structure and the molecular interactions in the nemat…
