Ferroelectric Nematic Fibers: Nonlinear optical response and behaviour in electric fields. — •Alexander Jarosik, Hajnalka Nádasi, and Alexey Eremin — Otto-von-Guericke Universität, Magdeburg, Germany

The discovery of ferroelectric nematics (NFs) with vector symmetry has ushered in a novel area of liquid crystal research. Being the first true 3D ferroelectric fluid, NFs show a wide variety of electro-optical, electro-mechanical and nonlinear optical phenomena. Here, we demonstrate the formation of the slender freely suspended ferroelectric liquid fibers. We discuss their stability, thinning dynamics and electro-optical properties.
