Realignment of ferroelectric nematic by photoinduced electric field
Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleksandr Kurochkin, Ruslan Kravchuk +5
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) employ thin pixels of a paraelectric nematic, confined between two glass plates with transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. A voltage applied…
Bend Instabilities and Topological Turbulence in Shear-Aligned Living Liquid Crystal
Hend Baza, Fei Chen, Taras Turiv +2
Flagellated microswimmers B. Subtilis dispersed in a nematic phase of a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal form a living liquid crystal (LLC). The combination of the passive and ac…
Periodic splay Fréedericksz transitions in a ferroelectric nematic
Bijaya Basnet, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleksandr Kurochkin +5
Electric field-induced splay of molecular orientation, called the Fréedericksz transition, is a fundamental electro-optic phenomenon in nonpolar nematic liquid crystals. In a ferro…
Electrically tunable total reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +3
An oblique helicoidal state of a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChOH) is capable of continuous change of the pitch P in response to an applied electric field. Such a structure reflect…
In-situ measurements of twist and bend elastic constants in oblique helicoidal cholesteric
Olena S. Iadlovska, Kamal Thapa, Mojtaba Rajabi +2
Unique electro-optical properties of the oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) stem from its heliconical director structure. An applied electric field preserves the single harmonic…
Liquid crystal phases with unusual structures and physical properties formed by acute-angle bent-core molecules
Bing-Xiang Li, Yuriy A. Nastishin, Hao Wang +7
Liquid crystals formed by acute-angle bent-core (ABC) molecules with a 1,7 naphthalene central core show an intriguing phase behavior with the nematic phase accompanied by poorly u…
