We report experimental and theoretical results on the flexoelectric instability and crossover between flexoelectric domains and electro-convection in a hybrid aligned nematic MBBA under d.c. voltage. At threshold a spatially periodic flexoelectric deformation in the form of longitudinal domains (along the planar director) was observed. With increasing voltage the director deviation out of the i...
متن کاملAnchoring effect of triglycine sulphate cleavage plane on MBBA liquid crystal
2014 On the cleavage surface of ferroelectric triglycine sulphate (TGS) nematic MBBA aligns in different ways on domains with opposite directions of spontaneous polarization. From light intensities passing through twisted nematic MBBA placed between a TGS sample and an anisotropic glass plate the director of MBBA on plus domains of TGS is determined to be close to [508] or [702] crystallographi...
متن کاملConformational flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals
2014 Using the direct flexoelectric effect in an hybrid (homeotropic-planar) nematic cell, we have measured the bulk flexoelectric coefficient e* for two cyanobiphenyl compounds, 8CB and 8OCB. For 8CB, the flexo coefficient is comparable in sign and magnitude with that of MBBA, i.e. e* ~ + 10-4 cgs. 8OCB presents an anomalously large and negative e* ~ 5 x 10-4 cgs. The small influence of the cy...
متن کاملFlexoelectrically controlled twist of texture in a nematic liquid crystal
2014 We describe a new flexoelectric volume effect in homogeneous electric field, in the nematic phase of MBBA. An initial splay-bend texture is created by strong antagonistic planar and homeotropic anchoring on two glass plates. This results in a volume flexoelectric polarization. A transverse DC electric field creates a twist of the texture, which can be measured by the resulting wave guided ...
متن کاملGiant flexoelectric effect through interfacial strain relaxation.
Interfacial strain gradients in oxide epitaxial thin films provide an interesting opportunity to study flexoelectric effects and their potential applications. Oxide epitaxial thin films can exhibit giant and tunable flexoelectric effects, which are six or seven orders of magnitude larger than those in conventional bulk solids. The strain gradient in an oxide epitaxial thin film can generate an ...
