Antiferroelectric Order in Nematic Liquids: Flexoelectricity Versus Electrostatics

Abstract The recent discovery of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phases marks a major breakthrough in soft matter research. An intermediate phase, often observed between the nonpolar and the ferroelectric nematic phase, shows a distinct antiferroelectric response to electric fields. However...
