Hybrid Topological Defects in Ferroelectric Nematic Fluids
Shengzhu Yi, Chao Zhou, Zening Hong +6
We investigate the evolution of topological defects in polar fluids driven by discrete inversion symmetry-breaking acrossthe nematic-to-ferroelectric nematic phase transition. Usin…
Double Splay Nematic Order in Confined Polar Fluids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Aile Sun +5
In this study, we demonstrate that when a ferroelectric nematic is confined between two glass plates coated with ionic polymers, a modulated phase emerges in a narrow temperature r…
Chiral π Domain Walls Composed of Twin Half-Integer Surface Disclinations in Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals
Shengzhu Yi, Zening Hong, Zhongjie Ma +7
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are polar fluids characterized by microscopic orientational ordering and macroscopic spontaneous polarizations. Within these fluids, walls tha…
Half-integer Topological Defects Paired via String Micelles in Polar Liquids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Yaohao Song +7
Ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystals present a compelling platform for exploring topological defects in polar fields, while their structural properties can be significantly a…
Line defects in nematic liquid crystals as charged superelastic rods with negative twist--stretch coupling
Shengzhu Yi, Hao Chen, Xinyu Wang +4
Topological defects are a ubiquitous phenomenon in diverse physical systems. In nematic liquid crystals (LCs), they are dynamic, physicochemically distinct, sensitive to stimuli, a…
