Ferroelectric materials contain a switchable spontaneous polarization that persists even in the absence of an external electric field. The coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallicity in a material appears to be illusive, since…

In solids, disorder is conventionally regarded as detrimental to coherence. It typically localizes and dampens collective excitations, as exemplified by Anderson localization or the broadening of magnetic modes in systems lacking long-range…
