Hybrid Topological Defects in Ferroelectric Nematic Fluids
Shengzhu Yi, Chao Zhou, Zening Hong +6
We investigate the evolution of topological defects in polar fluids driven by discrete inversion symmetry-breaking acrossthe nematic-to-ferroelectric nematic phase transition. Usin…

Double Splay Nematic Order in Confined Polar Fluids
Zhongjie Ma, Miao Jiang, Aile Sun +5
In this study, we demonstrate that when a ferroelectric nematic is confined between two glass plates coated with ionic polymers, a modulated phase emerges in a narrow temperature r…
