Polar solitons in a nonpolar chiral soft matter system
Jiahao Chen, Xingzhou Tang, Yang Ding +4
Polar solitons, i.e., solitonic waves accompanying asymmetry of geometry or phase, have garnered attention in polar systems, such as ferroelectric or magnetoelectric materials, whe…

Double Splay Nematic Order in Confined Polar Fluids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Aile Sun +5
In this study, we demonstrate that when a ferroelectric nematic is confined between two glass plates coated with ionic polymers, a modulated phase emerges in a narrow temperature r…

Mean-field theory of the uniaxial ferroelectric smectic A liquid crystal phase
Aitor Erkoreka, Minjung Huang, Satoshi Aya +1
Following the groundbreaking discovery of the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal phase (NF), a series of closely-related new polar phases have also been found. An especially inte…
