Article in Physical Review E

George Cordoyiannis and colleagues from KU Leuven (Belgium), University of Colorado (USA), University of Hull (UK) have published an article in Physical Review E reporting the existence of a new intermediate Nx phase in one of the two first discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, namely, RM734. The temperature range of this phase is 1.15 ± 0.10 K and the N-Nx transition enthaply is minute (<  5 mJ/g).
