An active hydroelastic liquid crystal phase of a fluttering ferroelectric nematic
Xi Chen, Cory Pecinovsky, Eva Korblova +5
Polarization flutter, produced by an applied AC electric field drives an equilibrium ferroelectric nematic () liquid crystal (LC) through a transition into a dissipat…
Calorimetric evidence for the existence of an intermediate phase between the ferroelectric nematic phase and the nematic phase in the liquid crystal RM734
Jan Thoen, George Cordoyiannis, Eva Korblova +5
The idea that rod-like molecules possessing an electric dipole moment could exhibit a ferroelectric nematic phase was suggested more than a century ago. However, only recently such…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic realm: Comparing RM734 and DIO
Bingchen Zhong, Min Shuai, Xi Chen +6
The current intense study of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals was initiated by the observation of the same ferroelectric nematic phase in two independently discovered organic…
Thermotropic reentrant isotropy and antiferroelectricity in the ferroelectric nematic material RM734
Xi Chen, Min Shuai, Bingchen Zhong +6
We report a transition from the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal () phase to a lower-temperature, antiferroelectric fluid phase having reentrant isotropic symmetry ()…
Observation of a uniaxial ferroelectric smectic A phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Pierre Nacke +12
We report the smectic , a new liquid crystal phase of the ferroelectric nematic realm. The smectic is a phase of small polar, rod-shaped molecules which form two-dimensi…
Antiferroelectric Smectic Ordering as a Prelude to the Ferroelectric Nematic:Introducing the Smectic Phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Eva Korblova +9
We have structurally characterized the liquid crystal phase that appears as an intermediate state when a dielectric nematic, having polar disorder of its molecular dipoles, transit…
