Running streams of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal on a lithium niobate surface

Luka Cmok, Virginie Coda, Nerea Sebastián +6

Sessile droplets of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline material were exposed to surface electric fields produced by pyroelectric and photogalvanic (photovoltaic) effects in…

Electrooptics of mm-scale polar domains in the ferroelectric splay nematic phase

Nerea Sebastián, Richard. J. Mandle, Andrej Petelin +2

The recent discovery of the ferroelectric splay nematic phase has opened the door to experimental investigation of one of the most searched liquid crystal phases in decades, with h…

On the molecular origins of the ferroelectric splay nematic phase

Richard J. Mandle, Nerea Sebastián, Josu Martinez-Perdiguero +1

Nematic liquid crystals have been known for more than a century, but it was not until the 60s-70s that, with the development of room temperature nematics, they became widely used i…

Ferroelectric-ferroelastic phase transition in a nematic liquid crystal

Nerea Sebastián, Luka Cmok, Richard J. Mandle +4

Ferroelectric ordering in liquids is a fundamental question of physics. Here, we show that ferroelectric ordering of the molecules causes formation of recently reported splay nemat…

Optical second harmonic generation in a ferromagnetic liquid crystal

Jure Brence, Luka Cmok, Nerea Sebastian +3

A comparative experimental investigation of the dependence of second harmonic generation (SHG) on applied external voltage between the standard nematic liquid crystalline material…

Interplay between structure and relaxation in polyurea networks: the point of view from a novel method of cooperativity analysis of dielectric response

Nerea Sebastián, Christophe Contal, Antoni Sánchez-Ferrer +1

The influence of structural constraints on the relaxation dynamics of three polyurea networks with varying degree of crosslinking, has been studied by means of a thorough analysis…
