Periodic splay Fréedericksz transitions in a ferroelectric nematic
Bijaya Basnet, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleksandr Kurochkin +5
Electric field-induced splay of molecular orientation, called the Fréedericksz transition, is a fundamental electro-optic phenomenon in nonpolar nematic liquid crystals. In a ferro…
Microsecond electro-optic switching in the nematic phase of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal
Kamal Thapa, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Nematic liquid crystals exhibit nanosecond electro-optic response to an applied electric field which modifies the degree of orientational order without realigning the molecular ori…
Trapping of isotropic droplets by disclinations in nematic liquid crystals controlled by surface anchoring and elastic constant disparity
Nilanthi P. Haputhanthrige, Sathyanarayana Paladugu, Maxim O. Lavrentovich +1
Linear defects such as dislocations and disclinations in ordered materials attract foreign particles since they replace strong elastic distortions at the defect cores. In this work…
