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…

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…
