We investigate the effect of changing the molecular dipole strength on the liquid crystal phases formed in a system of tapered Gay-Berne particles with an axial dipole. We show that increasing the strength of the dipole has a profound effect on the stability and molecular organisation of the phases and eventually destroys the polar ferroelectric nematic.

Abstract
We investigate the effect of changing the molecular dipole strength on the liquid crystal phases formed in a system of tapered Gay-Berne particles with an axial dipole. We show that increasing the strength of the dipole has a profound effect on the stability and molecular organisation of the phases and eventually destroys the polar ferroelectric nematic.File in questo prodotto:
