Conic sections in ferroelectric nematics: experiments and mathematical modeling
Priyanka Kumari, Olexandr Kurochkin, Vassili G. Nazarenko +3
Domain structure of a fluid ferroelectric nematic is dramatically different from the domain structure of solid ferroelectrics since it is not restricted by rectilinear crystallogra…
Trapping of isotropic droplets by disclinations in nematic liquid crystals controlled by surface anchoring and elastic constant disparity
Nilanthi P. Haputhanthrige, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Linear defects such as dislocations and disclinations in ordered materials attract foreign particles since they replace strong elastic distortions at the defect cores. In this work…
Dielectric properties of a ferroelectric nematic material: quantitative test of the polarization-capacitance Goldstone mode
Alex Adaka, Mojtaba Rajabi, Nilanthi Haputhantrige +3
The recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystals (LC) have been reported to show an extraordinarily large value of the real part of the dielectric constant at low…
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…
Confinement and magnetic field effect on chiral ferroelectric nematic in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells
Kamal Thapa, Olena S. Iadlovska, Bijaya Basnet +4
We explore the structure and magnetic field response of edge dislocations in Grandjean-Cano wedge cells filled with chiral mixtures of the ferroelectric nematic mesogen DIO. Upon c…
High order nonlinear electrophoresis in a nematic liquid crystal
Mojtaba Rajabi, Taras Turiv, Bing-Xiang Li +3
Electrophoresis is the motion of particles relative to a surrounding fluid driven by a uniform electric field. In conventional electrophoresis, the electrophoretic velocity grows l…
