The effect of side chain length on the mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric nematogens
Natalia Podoliak, Martin Cigl, Pavlo Golub +8
The discovery of ferroelectric nematic phase opened new directions in the field of soft matter chemistry and physics. In this paper, we have modified a previously reported ferroele…
The effect of fluorine or chlorine substitution on mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Martin Cigl, Natalia Podoliak, Dalibor Repček +3
Ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) represents an attractive and foremost field of liquid crystals, combining fluidity with ferroelectricity. NF materials exhibit large polarization v…
Tunable macroscopic defect patterns induced by a low-frequency AC electric field in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Natalia Podoliak, Lubor Lejcek, Martin Cigl +1
Regulation of topological structures and pattern formation is attracting wide interest in the field of condensed matter. Liquid crystals (LCs) represent soft matter with a remarkab…
Tilt or twist-competing synclinic and anticlinic interactions in SmC phases of bent-core mesogens
Jiří Svoboda, Václav Kozmík, Kvetoslava Bajzíková +5
Recent liquid-crystalline (LC) research is focused on structurally new molecular systems distinct from simple nematic or smectic phases. Sophisticated molecular shape may reveal st…
Polar Nematic Phases with Enantiotropic Ferro- and Antiferroelectric Behavior
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Michał Czerwiński, Natalia Podoliak +4
The recent discovery of a new ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystalline phase became of utmost interest for the liquid crystal (LC) and the whole soft and condensed matter fiel…
Twisted domains in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Vladimira Novotna, Lubor Lejcek, Natalia Podoliak
Ferroelectric nematics present properties promising for applications, which strongly depend on the confinement conditions and the presence of defects. In this work, we have observe…
Undulations of smectic A layers in achiral liquid crystals manifested as stripe textures
Natalia Podoliak, Peter Salamon, Lubor Lejček +2
Self-assembly of organic molecules represents a fascinating playground to create various liquid crystalline (LC) nanostructures. In this work, we study layer undulations on microme…
