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…
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…
Twist-grain boundary phase characterized by AFM technique
Vladimira Novotna, Lubor Lejcek, Ladislav Fekete
Twist grain boundary (TGB) phases represent liquid crystalline systems with a regular array of defects. In our research, we studied a compound with a stable TGBC phase and establis…
Organic nanotubes created from mesogenic derivatives
Vladimira Novotna, Vera Hamplova, Lubor Lejcek +7
A facile route to prepare the nanotubes from rod-like mesogens dissolved in typical organic solvents is reported. For selected types of chiral rod-like molecules, both enantiomers…
Filaments in the TGBA phase
Lubor Lejcek, Vladimira Novotna, Milada Glogarova
A model of filaments of the TGBA phase arising from the homeotropic smectic A phase and nucleating on the sample surface is proposed. The model is based on the concept of finite bl…
