Periodic splay Fréedericksz transitions in a ferroelectric nematic
Bijaya Basnet, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleksandr Kurochkin +5
Electric field-induced splay of molecular orientation, called the Fréedericksz transition, is a fundamental electro-optic phenomenon in nonpolar nematic liquid crystals. In a ferro…
Confinement and magnetic field effect on chiral ferroelectric nematic in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells
Kamal Thapa, Olena S. Iadlovska, Bijaya Basnet +4
We explore the structure and magnetic field response of edge dislocations in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells filled with chiral mixtures of the ferroelectric nematic mesogen DIO. Upon c…
Chiral ground states of ferroelectric liquid crystals
Priyanka Kumari, Bijaya Basnet, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are formed by achiral molecules with large dipole moments. Its three-dimensional orientational order is universally described as unidirectiona…
