Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 9HL replicate the experimentally observed de Vries behaviour, which is shown to arise due to differing tilting characteristics of molecular sub-units.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on a 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C$_{12}$mim][PF$_6$]) ionic liquid crystal (ILC) with an oscillatory shear. We found the oscillatory shear can both accelerate and suppress the mesophase...
