The possibility that metals may support ferroelectricity is an open issue. Anderson and Blount showed that certain martensitic transitions involve inversion symmetry breaking and the formal existence of a polar axis, so 'metallic…
Two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterojunctions of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have become a reality in recent years. Semiconducting TMDC layers in their common H -structure have a nonzero in-plane electric polarization, which is…
The realization of multiferroics in nanostructures, combined with a large electric dipole and ferromagnetic ordering, could lead to new applications, such as high-density multi-state data storage. Although multiferroics have been broadly…
Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics, which is rare in nature, enable high-density non-volatile memory with low energy consumption. Here, we propose a theory of bilayer stacking ferroelectricity (BSF), in which, two stacked layers of the…
Ferroelectric films usually have phase states and physical properties very different from those of bulk ferroelectrics. Here we propose free-standing ferroelectric-elastic multilayers as a bridge between these two material systems. Using a…
Ferroelectricity is intriguing for its spontaneous electric polarization, which is switchable by an external electric field. Expanding ferroelectric materials to two-dimensional limit will provide versatile applications for the development…
The ground-state structure of monolayers and nanoplatelets of SnS with a thickness from two to five monolayers is calculated from first principles. It is shown that nanoobjects with only odd number of monolayers are ferroelectric. The…
Ferroelectric metals, characterized by the coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallic conductivity, present a fundamental challenge due to the screening effect of free charge carriers on the long-range electric dipole order. Existing…
Ferroelectric crystals must adopt one of the 10 polar point groups according to the Neumann's principle. In this paper we propose that this conclusion is based on perfect bulk crystals without taking the boundaries into account, and we show…

Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectricity has attracted extensive attention since its discovery in the monolayers of van der Waals materials. Here we show that 2D ferroelectricity induced by octahedral rotation distortion is widely present in…
Contribution of d-electron to ferroelectricity of type-II multiferroics causes strong magneto-electric coupling and distinguishes them from the conventional type-I multiferroics. However, their therein polarization is too small because the…
Two-dimensional (2D) intrinsic superconductors with nontrivial topological band and vertical ferroelectricity exhibit fascinating characteristics to achieving electrostatic control of quantum phases. While, only a few such 2D materials have…

Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and can be reversed by an externally applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in enabling components such as capacitors, sensors, and…
Multiferroic altermagnets offer new opportunities for magnetoelectric coupling and electrically tunable spintronics. However, due to intrinsic symmetry conflicts between altermagnetism and ferroelectricity, achieving their coexistence,…
Persistent electrical polarized states are fundamentally important to the electric industry as they can be used in the non-volatile memory, the artificial neuromorphic network, and negative capacitors, making ultralow energy consumption…
Fluid molecular ferroelectrics are a new class of organic materials where ferroelectricity is found in conjunction with 3D fluidity whilst still retaining spontaneous polarization values comparable to their traditional solid state…
