Landau theory applied to antiferroelectric ordering in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals

Manisha Badu, Arjun Ghimire, Milon +6

The polarization and mass density modulation associated with antiferroelectric ordering in two ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, a prototypical single compound (referred to as…

Helix alignment, chevrons, and edge dislocations in twist-bend ferroelectric nematics

Bijaya Basnet, Priyanka Kumari, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +6

We explore surface alignment and edge dislocations in the recently discovered twist-bend ferroelectric nematic, NTBF, in which the vector of spontaneous polarization follows an obl…

Twist, splay, and uniform domains in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals

Maxim O. Lavrentovich, Priyanka Kumari, Oleg D. Lavrentovich

The newly-discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal exhibits a variety of unique defect phenomena. The depolarization field in the material favors spontaneous spatial variati…

Conic sections in ferroelectric nematics: experiments and mathematical modeling

Priyanka Kumari, Olexandr Kurochkin, Vassili G. Nazarenko +3

Domain structure of a fluid ferroelectric nematic is dramatically different from the domain structure of solid ferroelectrics since it is not restricted by rectilinear crystallogra…

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…

Soliton walls paired by polar surface interactions in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal

Bijaya Basnet, Mojtaba Rajabi, Hao Wang +5

Surface interactions are responsible for many properties of condensed matter, ranging from crystal faceting to the kinetics of phase transitions. Usually, these interactions are po…
