Since many years, sub-60mV/decade switching has been reported in ferroelectric FETs. However, thus far these reports have lacked full physical explanation since they typically use a negative capacitance in the ferroelectric layer to be able…
Domain walls are the topological defects that mediate polarization reversal in ferroelectrics, and they may exhibit quite different geometric and electronic structures compared to the bulk. Therefore, a detailed atomic-scale understanding…
The coexistence of ferroelectric and topological orders in two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals allows non-volatile and switchable quantum spin Hall states. Here we offer a general design principle for 2D bilayer heterostructures that can…
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…
