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 ()…
Double-Helical Tiled Chain Structure of the Twist-Bend Liquid Crystal phase in CB7CB
Michael R. Tuchband, Min Shuai, Keri A. Graber +16
The twist-bend nematic liquid crystal phase is a three-dimensional fluid in which achiral bent molecules spontaneously form an orientationally ordered macroscopically chiral helico…
Resonant carbon K-edge soft x-ray scattering from lattice-free heliconical molecular ordering: soft dilative elasticity of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase
Chenhui Zhu, Michael R. Tuchband, Anthony Young +7
Resonant x-ray scattering shows that the bulk structure of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase, recently discovered in bent molecular dimers, has spatial periodicity without electr…
The twist-bend nematic phase of bent mesogenic dimer CB7CB and its mixtures
Michael R. Tuchband, Min Shuai, Keri A. Graber +12
Binary mixtures of the twist-bend nematic-forming liquid crystal CB7CB with the prototypical rod-like liquid crystal 5CB exhibit a twist-bend nematic phase with properties similar…
Spontaneous Liquid Crystal and Ferromagnetic Ordering of Colloidal Magnetic Nanoplates
Min Shuai, Arthur Klittnick, Yongqiang Shen +10
Ferrofluids are familiar as colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in aqueous or organic solvents. The dispersed particles are randomly oriented but their moments bec…
Twist-bend heliconical chiral nematic liquid crystal phase of an achiral rigid bent-core mesogen
Dong Chen, Michi Nakata, Renfan Shao +8
The chiral, heliconical (twist-bend) nematic ground state is reported in an achiral, rigid, bent-core mesogen (UD68). Similar to the nematic twist-bend (NTB) phase observed in bent…
