Ternary liquid crystalline mixture showing broad antiferroelectric smectic C* and glassy hexatic smectic X* phases
Aleksandra Deptuch, Anna Drzewicz, Marcin Piwowarczyk +4
A ternary liquid crystalline mixture was designed to obtain a tilted hexatic smectic phase in the glassy state. Structural, electro-optic, and dielectric properties of the mixture…

The role of terminal groups in non-chiral rod-like compounds on the formation of polar fluids
Michał Czerwiński, Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Mateusz Filipow +5
The emergence of ferroelectric mesophases in non-chiral liquid crystal (LCs) has sparked fundamental interest in the molecular mechanisms governing polarity. In this study, we inve…
