Freely Suspended Nematic and Smectic Films and Free-Standing Smectic Filaments in the Ferroelectric Nematic Realm
Keith G. Hedlund, Vikina Martinez, Xi Chen +4
We show that stable, freely suspended liquid crystal films can be made from the ferroelectric nematic () phase and from the recently discovered polar, lamellar $\math…
Calorimetric evidence for the existence of an intermediate phase between the ferroelectric nematic phase and the nematic phase in the liquid crystal RM734
Jan Thoen, George Cordoyiannis, Eva Korblova +5
The idea that rod-like molecules possessing an electric dipole moment could exhibit a ferroelectric nematic phase was suggested more than a century ago. However, only recently such…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic realm: Comparing RM734 and DIO
Bingchen Zhong, Min Shuai, Xi Chen +6
The current intense study of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals was initiated by the observation of the same ferroelectric nematic phase in two independently discovered organic…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic material RM734
Xi Chen, Min Shuai, Bingchen Zhong +6
We report a transition from the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal () phase to a lower-temperature, antiferroelectric fluid phase having reentrant isotropic symmetry ()…
Coalescence of Islands in Freely-Suspended Smectic Films
Z. H. Nguyen, K. Harth, A. M. Goldfain +4
Smectic liquid crystal films a few molecular layers thick that are freely suspended in air are used as a model system to study the coalescence of fluids in two dimensions. High-spe…
