Natalia Podoliak, Martin Cigl, Pavlo Golub +8
The discovery of ferroelectric nematic phase opened new directions in the field of soft matter chemistry and physics. In this paper, we have modified a previously reported ferroele…
The effect of fluorine or chlorine substitution on mesomorphic properties of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Martin Cigl, Natalia Podoliak, Dalibor RepÄek +3
Ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) represents an attractive and foremost field of liquid crystals, combining fluidity with ferroelectricity. NF materials exhibit large polarization v…
The role of terminal groups in non-chiral rod-like compounds on the formation of polar fluids
MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Mateusz Mrukiewicz, Mateusz Filipow +5
The emergence of ferroelectric mesophases in non-chiral liquid crystal (LCs) has sparked fundamental interest in the molecular mechanisms governing polarity. In this study, we inve…
Tunable macroscopic defect patterns induced by a low-frequency AC electric field in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Natalia Podoliak, Lubor Lejcek, Martin Cigl +1
Regulation of topological structures and pattern formation is attracting wide interest in the field of condensed matter. Liquid crystals (LCs) represent soft matter with a remarkab…
Polar Nematic Phases with Enantiotropic Ferro- and Antiferroelectric Behavior
Mateusz Mrukiewicz, MichaÅ CzerwiÅski, Natalia Podoliak +4
The recent discovery of a new ferroelectric nematic (NF) liquid crystalline phase became of utmost interest for the liquid crystal (LC) and the whole soft and condensed matter fiel…
