Fatigue effect in ferroelectric crystals: Growth of the frozen domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The model of the fatigue effect during cyclic switching caused by growth of the frozen domain area with charged domain walls has been proposed. It was claimed on the basis of the previous experimental results that for switching in increasing field the ...

Ferroelectric nematic liquids with conics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Defect lines shaped as conic sections are common in smectic liquid crystals, where they manifest equidistance of molecular layers curled in space. Here authors present hyperbolas and parabolas as domain walls in ferroelectric nematics, which are shaped ...

Nanodomain structures formation during polarization reversal in uniform electric field in strontium barium niobate single crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We have studied the ferroelectric nanodomain formation in single crystals of strontium barium niobate Sr 0.61Ba 0.39Nb 2O 6 using piezoelectric force microscopy and Raman confocal microscopy.

Effect of Surface Charge Characteristics of Ferroelectric LiNbO3 on Wettability of Ionic Liquids

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
Electrowetting is a widely used and effective method to tune the wettability of ionic liquids at solid-liquid interfaces, but it usually requires an external electric field. Here, we proposed a strategy for conveniently tuning ionic liquid wettability by

High-contrast imaging of 180{\deg} ferroelectric domains by optical microscopy using ferroelectric liquid crystals

open access: yes, 2020
Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) couple the direction of their spontaneous electric polarization to the direction of tilt of their optic axis. Consequently, reversal of the electric polarization by an electric field gives rise to an immediate and ...

Photorefractive effect of ferroelectric liquid crystals [PDF]

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, 2006
AbstractThis paper reviews our recent work on the photorefractive effect of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs). Thephotorefractive effectis defined as the optical modulation of the refractive index of a medium as a result of a variety of processes.

Columnar liquid crystal as a unique ferroelectric liquid crystal [PDF]

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Applied Physics, 2013
A recently discovered ferroelectric columnar liquid crystal (LC) is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to differentiate it from conventional ferroelectric LCs such as the smectic-C*-type and bent-core LCs from the symmetry point of view. After reviewing ferroelectric smectic LCs (FSLCs), a ferroelectric columnar LC (FCLC) is introduced as a unique ...

Implementation of a cylindrical distribution function for the analysis of anisotropic molecular dynamics simulations.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
The cylindrical distribution function (CDF) is a convenient anisotropic analogue of the radial distribution function, the difference being the use of cylindrical shells for binning.

In Silico Interactome of a Room-Temperature Ferroelectric Nematic Material

open access: yesCrystals, 2023
The ferroelectric nematic (NF) phase, characterised by the combination of orientational and polar order, offers unique properties that are challenging to replicate in other systems. Understanding the molecular structure requirements for generating the NF

Light modulation in planar aligned short-pitch deformed-helix ferroelectric liquid crystals

open access: yes, 2015
We study both experimentally and theoretically modulation of light in a planar aligned deformed-helix ferroelectric liquid crystal (DHFLC) cell with subwavelength helix pitch, which is also known as a short-pitch DHFLC.
