Ferroelectric nematics: Materials with high permittivity or low resistivity?

Nataša Vaupotič, Tine Krajnc, Ewa Gorecka +2

Two models have recently been proposed for a description of dielectric spectroscopy measurements of ferroelectric nematics (NF) in thin planar capacitors. The polarization-external…

Polar order in a fluid like ferroelectric with a tilted lamellar structure -- observation of a polar smectic C (SmC) phase

Jordan Hobbs, Calum J. Gibb, Damian Pociecha +3

The discovery of fluid states of matter with spontaneous bulk polar order is appreciated as a major discovery in the fields of soft matter and liquid crystals. Typically, this mani…

Nematic and smectic phases with proper ferroelectric order

Grant J. Strachan, Ewa Górecka, Jadwiga Szydłowska +2

A material showing a sequence of three ferroelectric liquid crystalline phases below the paraelectric nematic phase has been synthesized and studied. The polar order of molecules a…

Tilt or twist-competing synclinic and anticlinic interactions in SmC phases of bent-core mesogens

Jiří Svoboda, Václav Kozmík, Kvetoslava Bajzíková +5

Recent liquid-crystalline (LC) research is focused on structurally new molecular systems distinct from simple nematic or smectic phases. Sophisticated molecular shape may reveal st…

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…

Spontaneous polar and chiral symmetry breaking in ordered fluids -- heliconical ferroelectric nematic phases

Jakub Karcz, Jakub Herman, Natan Rychłowicz +5

It is known that the chiral interaction described by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DMI) term lead to the plethora of topological structures of magnetic spins, such as helical or skyrmion…
