Splay Stiffening and Twist Softening in a Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystal
Evangelia E. Zavvou, Alexander Jarosik, Hajnalka Nádasi +5
The recent discovery of ferroelectric nematics-genuine 3D ferroelectric fluids-has underscored the importance of electrostatic interactions in shaping the physical behaviour of sof…

Nanostructured multiferroic liquids: on the way to fluid ferroelectric magnets
Hajnalka Nádasi, Peter Medle Rupnik, Melvin Küster +9
Responsiveness to multiple stimuli and adaptivity are paramount for designing smart multifunctional materials. In soft, partially ordered systems, these features can often be achie…

Fluid fibres in true 3D ferroelectric liquids
Alexander Jarosik, Hajnalka Nádasi, Michael Schwidder +4
We demonstrate an exceptional ability of a high-polarisation 3D ferroelectric liquid to form freely-suspended fluid fibres at room temperature. Unlike fluid threads in modulated sm…
