The polaron is the archetypal example of a quasiparticle emerging from the interaction between fermionic and bosonic fields in quantum field theory. In crystalline solids, polarons are formed when electrons and holes become dressed by the…
We theoretically investigate the properties of highly polar diatomic molecules containing $^2S$-state transition-metal atoms. We calculate potential energy curves, permanent electric dipole moments, spectroscopic constants, and leading…
We present a detailed and self-contained theoretical study of polarons in two-dimensional (2D) polar materials, which extends the classical macroscopic theory of Fr\"ohlich polarons to the 2D case. The theory is fully determined by…
In the Reststrahlen region, between the transverse and longitudinal phonon frequencies, polar dielectric materials respond metallically to light and the resulting strong light-matter interactions can lead to the formation of hybrid…
Oxide superlattices represent a potent avenue for tailoring emergent electronic phases through sophisticated interfacial charge transfer and dynamic lattice distortions. This study systematically investigates the structural and electronic…
Polar and chiral crystal symmetries confer a variety of potentially useful functionalities upon solids by coupling otherwise noninteracting mechanical, electronic, optical, and magnetic degrees of freedom. We describe two unstudied phases…
PbTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ artificial superlattices recently emerged as a prototypical platform for the emergence and study of polar topologies. While previous studies mainly focused on the polar textures inherent to the ferroelectric PbTiO$_3$…
Ferroic transition metal oxides, which exhibit spontaneous elastic, electrical, magnetic or toroidal order, exhibit functional properties that find use in ultrastable solid-state memories to sensors and medical imaging technologies. To…
We describe a new type of spatially periodic structure (lattice models): a polaritonic crystal (PolC) formed by a two-dimensional lattice of trapped two-level atoms interacting with quantised electromagnetic field in a cavity (or in a…
In the polar catastrophe scenario, polar discontinuity accounts for the driving force of the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between polar and non-polar insulators. In this paper, we substitute the usual,…
Polar metals are an intriguing class of materials in which electric polarisation and metallicity can coexist within a single phase. The unique properties of polar metals challenge expectations, making way for the exploration of exotic…
Temperature dependent crystal structures of the quasi-one-dimensional ladder material BaFe2Se3 are examined. Combining the optical second harmonic generation (SHG) experiments and neutron diffraction measurements, we elucidate the crystal…
Antiferroelectrics are promising materials for high energy density capacitors and the search for environmentally-friendly and efficient systems is actively pursued. An elegant strategy to create and design new (anti)ferroic system relies on…
Defects in the atomic lattice of solids are sometimes desired. For example, atomic vacancies, single ones or more elaborated defective structures, can generate localized magnetic moments in a non magnetic crystalline lattice. Increasing…
Ferroelectrics are essential in low-dimensional memory devices for multi-bit storage and high-density integration. A polar structure is a necessary premise for ferroelectricity, mainly existing in compounds. However, it is usually rare in…
The coupling of ferroelectricity and magnetic order provides rich tunability for engineering material properties and demonstrates great potential for uncovering novel quantum phenomena and multifunctional devices. Here, we report…
Wigner crystallization of free electrons at room temperature is explored for a new class of metallic ultrathin (transdimensional) materials whose properties can be controlled by their thickness. Our calculations of the critical electron…
Two different ferroelectric materials, Sr$_{0.95}$Ba$_{0.05}$TiO$_3$ and Sr$_{0.985}$Ca$_{0.015}$TiO$_3$, can be turned into polar metals with broken centrosymmetry via electron doping. Systematic substitution of Nb$^{5+}$ for Ti$^{4+}$ has…
Super-high-\k{appa} materials that exhibit exceptionally high dielectric permittivity are recognized as potential candidates for a wide range of next-generation photonic and electronic devices. Generally, the high dielectricity for…
Time reversal dictates that nonmagnetic, centrosymmetric crystals cannot be spin-polarized as a whole. However, it has been recently shown that the electronic structure in these crystals can in fact show regions of high spin-polarization,…
