Tunable defect patterns induced by a low-frequency electric field in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals
Key Points
Induced defect patterns exhibit tunable properties through a low-frequency electric field.
The study demonstrates a novel interaction between electric fields and liquid crystal behavior.
Observation revealed complex pattern formations in response to the electric field's variation.
The findings suggest potential applications in optical devices and soft matter physics.
Abstract
The regulation of topological structures and pattern formation is attracting wide interest in the field of condensed matter. Liquid crystals (LCs), as a class of soft matter, uniquely combine fluidity...
