Electro-optical switching of a single component ferroelectric nematic material at room temperature.

ORAL

Abstract

The study of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal materials has gained worldwide significance. The liquid crystal materials with ferroelectric nematic properties at room temperature have applications that are of fundamental importance in various industries that hold promise for new technologies including high-density power storage or sub-millisecond switching information displays. Here we present the measurements of the physical properties of a single component ferroelectric nematic material RT11165 with electro-optical switching properties down to room temperature. Various characterization techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray scattering, dielectric spectroscopy, polarizing optical microscopy (POM), ferroelectric polarization and electro-optical measurements, were employed to characterize the physical properties of the material.
