Helix alignment, chevrons, and edge dislocations in twist-bend ferroelectric nematics
Bijaya Basnet, Priyanka Kumari, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +6
We explore surface alignment and edge dislocations in the recently discovered twist-bend ferroelectric nematic, NTBF, in which the vector of spontaneous polarization follows an obl…
Interplay of polar order and positional order in liquid crystals -- observation of re-entrant ferroelectric nematic phase
Grant Strachan, Shona Ramsay, Marijus Juodka +6
We show that development of polar order may spontaneously destroy the lamellar structure of a liquid crystal. This results in an unusual sequence of phases with the ferroelectric n…
Twist Grain Boundary phases in proper ferroelectric liquid crystals realm
Damian Pociecha, Jadwiga Szydlowska, Nataša Vaupotič +7
The twist-grain-boundary (TGB) phases, characterized by a periodic, helical arrangement of blocks made of polar smectic phases, SmAF and SmCF, have been discovered. They have been…
Interpretation of dielectric spectroscopy measurements of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Vojko Matko, Ewa Gorecka, Damian Pociecha +2
The magnitude of the relative permittivity of the ferroelectric nematic phase (NF) is under a lively scientific discussion since the phase was recently discovered. Dielectric spect…
Ferroelectric nematic -- isotropic critical end point
Jadwiga Szydlowska, Pawel Majewski, Mojca Čepič +8
A critical end point above which an isotropic phase continuously evolves into a polar (ferroelectric) nematic phase with an increasing electric field is found in a ferroelectric ne…
Dielectric response of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phase in thin cells
Nataša Vaupotič, Damian Pociecha, Paulina Rybak +4
We studied dielectric properties of a polar nematic phase (NF) sandwiched between two gold or ITO electrodes, serving as a cell surfaces. In bulk, NF is expected to exhibit a Golds…
