Fully-chromophoric ferroelectric nematics for electronic electro-optics
Xi Chen, Andrew Bradfield, Chirag Patel +7
Electronic electro-optic (EEO) phase modulation is a key emerging technology for the chip-scale inter-conversion of signals between the electronic and photonic domains. The recent…

An active hydroelastic liquid crystal phase of a fluttering ferroelectric nematic
Xi Chen, Cory Pecinovsky, Eva Korblova +5
Polarization flutter, produced by an applied AC electric field drives an equilibrium ferroelectric nematic () liquid crystal (LC) through a transition into a dissipat…

Freely Suspended Nematic and Smectic Films and Free-Standing Smectic Filaments in the Ferroelectric Nematic Realm
Keith G. Hedlund, Vikina Martinez, Xi Chen +4
We show that stable, freely suspended liquid crystal films can be made from the ferroelectric nematic () phase and from the recently discovered polar, lamellar $\math…
