Ferroelectric materials are characterized by a spontaneous polar distortion. The behavior of such distortions in the presence of free charge is the key to the physics of metallized ferroelectrics in particular, and of structurally-polar…

The amazing possibility of magnetoelectric crystals to cross couple electric and magnetic properties without the need of time-dependent Maxwell's equations has attracted a lot of interest in material science. This enthusiasm has re-emerged…
Polar materials can host a variety of topologically significant magnetic phases, which often emerge from a modulated magnetic ground state. Relatively few noncentrosymmetric tetragonal materials have been shown to host topological spin…
Polar metals are rare because free carriers in metals screen electrostatic potential and eliminate internal dipoles. Degenerate doped ferroelectrics may create an approximate polar metallic phase. We use first-principles calculations to…
Half-metals, featuring ideal 100\% spin polarization, are widely regarded as key materials for spintronic and quantum technologies; however, the half-metallic state is intrinsically fragile, as it relies on a delicate balance of exchange…
Polar solitons, i.e., solitonic waves accompanying asymmetry of geometry or phase, have garnered attention in polar systems, such as ferroelectric or magnetoelectric materials, where they play a critical role in topological transitions and…
