Deep learning directed synthesis of fluid ferroelectric materials
Charles Parton-Barr, Stuart R. Berrow, Calum J. Gibb +6
Fluid ferroelectrics, a recently discovered class of liquid crystals that exhibit switchable, long-range polar order, offer opportunities in ultrafast electro-optic technologies, r…

Reactive Fluid Ferroelectrics: A Gateway to the Next Generation of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystalline Polymer Networks
Stuart R Berrow, Jordan Hobbs, Calum J Gibb
Herein we report the first examples of reactive mesogenic materials (RMs) which exhibit fluid ferroelectric order based on the recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase.…

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Polar Fluids
Calum Gibb, Jordan Hobbs, Diana Nikolova +3
Spontaneous symmetry breaking and emergent polar order are each of fundamental importance to a range of scientific disciplines, as well as generating rich phase behaviour in liquid…
