Dielectric spectroscopy of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals: Measuring the capacitance of insulating interfacial layers

Numerous measurements of the dielectric constant ɛ of the recently discovered ferroelectric nematic (N_{F}) liquid crystal (LC) phase report extraordinarily large values of ɛ′ (up to ∼30 000) in the N_{F} phase. We show that what is in fact being measured in such experiments is the high capacitance...
