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…
Q-tensor model of twist-bend and splay nematic phases
Martin Čopič, Alenka Mertelj
The twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) is characterized by a conically twisting director and by a dramatic softening of the bend elastic constant before the transition to NTB phase. In…
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…
Evolution of nematic and ferromagnetic ordering in suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets
Alenka Mertelj, Borut Lampret, Darja Lisjak +3
Suspensions of magnetic nanoplatelets in isotropic solvents are very interesting examples of ferrofluids. It has been shown that above a certain concentration ΦNI such suspensions…
