Nano-clustering mediates phase transitions in a diastereomerically-stabilized ferroelectric nematic system
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are interesting due to their combined high polarizability, electro-optic activity, and fluidity. Here, the authors tune the ferroelectric nematic phase transition by mixing diastereomer molecules, investigating the role of clusters in the stabilization of the fe...
