Self-Consistent Explanation of the Untwist Alignment of Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals with Decreasing Cell Thickness and Deviation of the Surface Easy Axis Experimented upon Using the Brewster Angle Reflection Method
The huge dielectric constant of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) seems to bring about a difficulty of molecular alignment control in exchange for a potential device application. To obtain a satisfactory level of uniform molecular alignment, it is essential to understand how the molecule...
