Tunable parametric vibrations in fluid ferroelectric fibres

Abstract

Freely suspended ferroelectric-nematic fibres combine 1D fluidity with macroscopic spontaneous polarisation. Under alternating electric fields, we observe a sequence of dynamical states, from subthreshold pulsations to polarity-dependent axial flow, and sustained transverse oscillations. We show that the oscillatory state arises from a parametric instability of a liquid string whose effective tension is dominated by the electrical polarisation-field coupling contribution. A Floquet model incorporating finite-time polarisation switching captures the observed resonance tongues, modal selection, and square-wave response. These results establish ferroelectric-nematic fibres as electrically programmable fluid resonators coupling polar order and interfacial flow with nonlinear vibration.
