The duality approach in 2-{\it dim} two-component regular checkerboards was extended onto piezoelectricity and piezomagnetism problems. There are found a relation for effective piezoelectric and piezomagnetic modules for the checkerboard…
In this work, we have performed a comprehensive study of dielectric materials NbOX2 (X=Cl, Br, and I) within the framework of density functional theory, incorporating both conventional and hybrid functionals.Our studies focus on the…
While all materials reduce their intrinsic volume under hydrostatic (uniform) compression, a select few actually \emph{expand} along one or more directions during this process of densification. As rare as it is counterintuitive, such…
The quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet Ni$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ belongs to the family of magnetic van der Waals compounds that provides a rich material base for the realization of fundamental models of quantum magnetism in low dimensions. Here,…
Within Landau theory, magnetism and polarity are homotopic, displaying a one-to-one correspondence between most physical characteristics. However, despite widely reported noncollinear magnetism, spontaneous noncollinear electric dipole…
We discuss the first theory for the depinning of low dimensional, incommensurate, charge density waves (CDWs) in the strong electron-phonon (e-p) regime. Arguing that most real CDWs systems invariably develop a gigantic dielectric constant…
Epsilon-Near-Zero materials exhibit a transition in the real part of the dielectric permittivity from positive to negative value as a function of wavelength. Here we study metal-dielectric layered metamaterials in the homogenised regime…
Piezoresistance is the change in the electrical resistance, or more specifically the resistivity, of a solid induced by an applied mechanical stress. The origin of this effect in bulk, crystalline materials like Silicon, is principally a…
Two-dimensional materials with ferroelectric properties break the size effect of conventional ferroelectric materials and unlock unprecedented potentials of ferroelectric-related application at small length scales. In this work, using…
The coupling between electronic excitations and lattice deformation in van der Waals ferroelectrics is governed by a competition between the electron deformation potential and the inverse piezoelectric effect. While theory predicts that…
The significance of a negative dielectric constant has long been recognized. We report here the observation of a field-induced large negative dielectric constant of aggregates of oxide nano-particles at frequencies below ~ 1 Hz at room…
Twistronic van der Waals heterostrutures offer exciting opportunities for engineering optoelectronic properties of nanomaterials. Here, we use multiscale modeling to study trapping of charge carriers and excitons by ferroelectric…
Strain engineering is a very effective method to tune electronic, optical, topological and thermoelectric properties of materials. In this work, we systematically study biaxial strain dependence of electronic structures and thermoelectric…
The mechanocaloric effect is the temperature change of a material upon application or removal of an external stress. Beyond its fundamental interest, this caloric response represents a promising and ecofriendly alternative to current…
Zero-bias current induced by injected phonons in metals and one-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) systems attached on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate is investigated microscopically based on the second order response theory.…
The dielectric constant, which defines the polarization of the media, is a key quantity in condensed matter. It determines several electronic and optoelectronic properties important for a plethora of modern technologies from computer memory…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides show great potential as promising thermoelectric materials due to their lower dimensionality, the unique density of states and quantum confinement of carriers. The effect of mechanical strain…
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) multiferroics have emerged as a promising platform for next-generation multifunctional devices. Although recent studies have demonstrated that artificial heterostructures can combine dual ferroic…
Out-of-plane and in-plane electric polarization, which rarely coexist in a two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric material, offer different advantages in ferroelectricity-based devices. Here, we report the coexistence of in-plane and…
Hydrostatic pressure and oxygen vacancies usually have deleterious effects on ferroelectric materials because both tend to reduce their polarization. In this work we use first-principles calculations to study an important class of…
