Exotic topological defects and director fields in free-floating spherical ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal shells
Churchill B. Agoni, Ema Pilih, Luka Cmok +5
Ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystals exhibit polar symmetry and large polarization, giving rise to phenomena absent in conventional apolar nematics. We investigate NF liquid…

Dynamic tuning of the director field in liquid crystal shells using block copolymers
JungHyun Noh, Yiwei Wang, Hsin-Ling Liang +4
When a nematic liquid crystal (LC) is confined on a self-closing spherical shell, topological constraints arise with intriguing consequences that depend critically on how the LC is…

Molecular model for de Vries type smectic A - smectic C phase transition in liquid crystals
M. V. Gorkunov, M. A. Osipov, F. Giesselmann +2
We develop a theory of Smectic A - Smectic C phase transition with anomalously weak smectic layer contraction. We construct a phenomenological description of this transition by gen…
