Spontaneous polar and chiral symmetry breaking in ordered fluids -- heliconical ferroelectric nematic phases

Jakub Karcz, Jakub Herman, Natan Rychłowicz +5

It is known that the chiral interaction described by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) term lead to the plethora of topological structures of magnetic spins, such as helical or skyrmion…
