Room‐Temperature Multiferroic Liquids: Ferroelectric and Ferromagnetic Order in a Hybrid Nanoparticle–Liquid Crystal System Open
Responsiveness to multiple stimuli and adaptivity are paramount for designing smart multifunctional materials. In soft, partially ordered systems, these features can often be achieved via self‐assembly, allowing for the combination of dive…

Thermodynamic potential of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals and consequences for polarization switching Open
The ferroelectric nematic (Nf) liquid crystal phase is a highly polar fluid, with spontaneous polarization (PS) values of the order of µCcm−2 and viscosities of around 10 Pas. The combination of high polarity and fluidity makes these mater…

Revealing the antipolar order in the antiferroelectric SmZA phase by means of circular alignment Open
Many ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, like one of the archetype materials, DIO, do not have a direct paraelectric N to ferroelectric N F phase transition, but exhibit yet another phase between N and N F . This phase has recently been…
