Electric field-induced studies, including phase transition and polarization hysteresis, for ferroelectric HfO2 at the atomic scale are critical since they can largely affect its application in ferroelectric and dielectric devices. However,…
Electric field control of the magnetic state in ferrimagnets holds great promise for developing spintronic devices due to low power consumption. Here, we demonstrate a non-volatile reversal of perpendicular net magnetization in a…
In this article we review and discuss a mechanism for coupling between electric polarization and magnetization that can ultimately lead to electric-field switchable magnetization. The basic idea is that a ferroelectric distortion in an…
Recent experiments demonstrated robust ferroelectricity in Mg-doped ZnO (ZMO) of the wurtzite structure, hinting at a promising strategy to substantially expand the list of ferroelectrics by doping conventional piezoelectrics. We…
We present key issues of related phenomenons of the Ferroelectricity and the Charge Disproportionation in organic metals. In (TMTTF_2X the dielectric susceptibility demonstrates clear cases of the ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric phase…
Hafnia and related fluorites defy our understanding of ferroelectricity, even if we restrict ourselves to the intrinsic properties of ideal crystals. Here we focus on a critical puzzle, namely, the sign of the electric polarization. Using…
In this paper, the multi-domain nature of ferroelectric (FE) polarization switching dynamics in a metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor is explored through a physics-based phase field approach, where the three-dimensional time-dependent…
Hafnium dioxide (HfO2) is a CMOS-compatible ferroelectric showing both 180{\deg} and 90{\deg} switching, yet the microscopic nature of the 90{\deg} pathway remains unresolved. We show that the 90{\deg} rotation pathway, negligible in…
Recent DFT calculations for Ba2CoO4 (BCO) and neutron scattering experiments for SrRuO3 (SRO) have shown that oxygen develops a magnetic polarization. Moreover, DFT calculations for these compounds also unveiled unexpected nodes in the spin…
Ferroelectric HfO2 is a promising candidate for next-generation memory devices due to its CMOS compatibility and ability to retain polarization at nanometer scales. However, the polar orthorhombic phase (Pca2_1) responsible for…
Proximity ferroelectricity has recently been reported as a new design paradigm for inducing ferroelectricity, where a non-ferroelectric polar material becomes a ferroelectric by interfacing with a thin ferroelectric layer. Strongly polar…
The switching dynamics of ferroelectric materials is a crucial intrinsic property which directly affects the operation and performance of ferroelectric devices. In conventional ferroelectric materials, the typical ferroelectric switching…
The ferroelectricity of multiferroics induced by spin order is commonly explained by considering either purely electronic or ion-displacement contribution. However, there is no general model which includes both effects simultaneously. Here,…
In the micro- and nanoscale ferroelectric samples, the formation and the growth of domains are the usual stages of the polarization switching mechanism. By assuming the weak polarization anisotropy and by solving the…
In view of the recent experimental reports of unexpected ferromagnetism in HfO$_{2}$ thin films, we carried out first principles investigations looking for magnetic order possibly brought about by the presence of small concentrations of…
While ferroelectric hafnia ($\mathrm{HfO_2}$) has become a technically important material for microelectronics, the physical origin of its ferroelectricity remains poorly understood. The tetragonal $P4_2/nmc$ phase is commonly assigned as…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to understand the mechanisms of polarization switching in ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$ achieved with external electric field. For tetragonal and orthorhombic ferroelectric phases, we determine the switching…
I show that a spontaneous electric polarization is developed in the solution of the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) by mapping the strong coupling limit of the model into an $xxz$ spin 1/2 model with a magnetic field. In this way, I can…
Although several multiferroic materials/heterostructures have been extensively studied, finding strong magnetoelectric couplings for the electric field control of the magnetization remains challenging. Here, a novel interfacial…
We investigate the dynamics of ferroelectric textures driven by polarization currents. We show that, ferrons, the quanta of collective polarization excitations, provide an exotic driving mechanism for domain wall (DW) dynamics, compared…
