Stage I: Dielectric response. Fast transient of nanoscale motility as the field drives the polar mesogens into oscillation, whose amplitude depends on the field frequency (a), voltage (b) and LC order (c). The error bars are defined as s.d. of the field-on/off average. Conditions: a homeotropic LCN at 70 V, b homeotropic LCN at 400 kHz and c 70 V and 900 kHz. d Superposition of all curves through normalization highlights the dynamic signature of this stage
