General phase-structure relationship in polar rod-shaped liquid crystals: Importance of shape anisotropy and dipolar strength
Ferroelectricity is a property with spontaneous polarization, which is of paramount importance in modern electrooptic applications. Yet, its observations are mostly limited to solids or chiral smectic C liquid crystals with nearly no fluidity. The fluidic ferroelectrics, called ferroelectric nematic...
