The valley dependent optical selection rules in recently discovered monolayer group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) make possible optical control of valley polarization, a crucial step towards valleytronic applications. However,…
Most non-ferroelectric two-dimensional materials can be endowed with so-called sliding ferroelectricity via non-equivalent homo-bilayer stacking, which is not applicable to mono-element systems like pure graphene bilayer with inversion…
We perform systematic investigation on the geometric, energetic and electronic properties of group IV-VI binary monolayers (XY), which are the counterparts of phosphorene, by employing density functional theory based electronic structure…
Energy-saving spintronics are believed to be implementable on the systems hosting persistent spin helix (PSH) since they support an extraordinarily long spin lifetime of carriers. However, achieving the PSH requires a unidirectional spin…
Electronic correlations could have significant impact on the material properties. They are typically pronounced for localized orbitals and enhanced in low-dimensional systems, so two-dimensional (2D) transition metal compounds could be a…

Valleytronics targets the exploitation of the additional degrees of freedom in materials where the energy of the carriers may assume several equal minimum values (valleys) at non-equivalent points of the reciprocal space. In single layers…

In conventional ferroelectric materials, polarization is an intrinsic property limited by bulk crystallographic structure and symmetry. Recently, it has been demonstrated that polar order can also be accessed using inherently non-polar van…

The two-dimensional (2D) multiferroic materials have widespread of application prospects in facilitating the integration and miniaturization of nanodevices. However, it is rarely coupling between the magnetic, ferroelectric, and ferrovalley…
Analogous to charge and spin, electrons in solids endows an additional degree of freedom: the valley pseudospin. Two-dimensional hexagonal materials such as graphene exhibit two valleys, labelled as $\mathbf{K}$ and $\mathbf{K}^{\prime}$.…
