We report the properties of two new series of compounds that show the ferroelectric nematic phase in which the length of a terminal chain is varied. The longer the terminal chain, the weaker the dipole-dipole interactions of the molecules…

The critical behavior of many physical systems involves two competing $n^{}_1-$ and $n^{}_2-$component order-parameters, ${\bf S}^{}_1$ and ${\bf S}^{}_2$, respectively, with $n=n^{}_1+n^{}_2$. Varying an external control parameter $g$,…
