Flexoelectric coefficient measurements in the nematic liquid crystal phase of 5CB
We report measurements of the bulk flexoelectric coefficient (e1 − e3) of 5CB (4-Cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl), in the temperature range 20–34 °C, with a relative combined standard uncertainty of 2 %. The chiral flexoelectro-optic method was used with 1 wt % high-twisting-power chiral additive. At 25 °C,...
