Abstrakt: Nematic cyanobiphenyl dimers have been found to exhibit a strong flexoelectric coupling, whose molecular origin is not obvious; we can explain such behaviour and clearly identify the role of different molecular features using a computational approach which combines a molecular level model and the elastic continuum theory.
