Abstract: We have elaborated a theoretical approach for the description of polar nematic phases observed by Nishikawa et al. [Adv. Mater. 29, 1702354 (2017)0935-964810.1002/adma.201702354], their structures, and transitions between them. Specific symmetry contributions to the pair molecular… read more here.
