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…
Director switching dynamics of ferromagnetic nematic liquid crystals
Nerea Sebastian, Natan Osterman, Darja Lisjak +2
Successful realization of ferromagnetic nematic liquid crystals has opened up the possibility to experimentally study a completely new set of fundamental physical phenomena. In thi…
