Tunable parametric vibrations in fluid ferroelectric fibres
Alexander Dieter-Jarosik, Hajnalka Nádasi, Rachel Tuffin +2
Freely suspended ferroelectric-nematic fibres combine 1D fluidity with macroscopic spontaneous polarisation. Under alternating electric fields, we observe a sequence of dynamical s…
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…
Observation of a uniaxial ferroelectric smectic A phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Pierre Nacke +12
We report the smectic , a new liquid crystal phase of the ferroelectric nematic realm. The smectic is a phase of small polar, rod-shaped molecules which form two-dimensi…
Polarisation-driven magneto-optical and nonlinear-optical behaviour of a room-temperature ferroelectric nematic phase
Evangelia Zavvou, Melanie Klasen-Memmer, Atsutaka Manabe +2
Nematics with a broken polar symmetry is one of the fascinating recent discoveries in the field of soft matter. High spontaneous polarisation and the fluidity of the ferroelectric…
