Topological defect coarsening in quenched smectic-C films analyzed using artificial neural networks
Ravin A. Chowdhury, Adam A. S. Green, Cheol S. Park +2
Mechanically quenching a thin film of smectic-C liquid crystal results in the formation of a dense array of thousands of topological defects in the director field. The subsequent r…
Dielectric spectroscopy of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals: Measuring the capacitance of insulating interfacial layers
Noel A. Clark, Xi Chen, Joseph E. Maclennan +1
Numerous measurements of the dielectric constant of the recently discovered ferroelectric nematic () liquid crystal (LC) phase report extraordinarily large values of $ε^\p…
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…
