Ferroelectric-ferroelastic phase transition in a nematic liquid crystal
Nerea Sebastián, Luka Cmok, Richard J. Mandle +4
Ferroelectric ordering in liquids is a fundamental question of physics. Here, we show that ferroelectric ordering of the molecules causes formation of recently reported splay nemat…
Q-tensor model of twist-bend and splay nematic phases
Martin Čopič, Alenka Mertelj
The twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) is characterized by a conically twisting director and by a dramatic softening of the bend elastic constant before the transition to NTB phase. In…
Evolution of nematic and ferromagnetic ordering in suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets
Alenka Mertelj, Borut Lampret, Darja Lisjak +3
Suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets in isotropic solvents are very interesting examples of ferrofluids. It has been shown that above a certain concentration ΦNI such suspensions…
Polarization modulation instability in liquid crystals with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking
Natasa Vaupotic, Martin Copic
We present a theoretical model which describes the polarization modulated and layer undulated structure of the B7 phase and gives the phase transition from the synclinic ferroelect…
