CuInP2S6 (CIPS) is an emerging layered material that exhibits ferrielectric ordering well above room temperature (Curie temperature TC ~ 315 K). When synthesized with Cu deficiencies, CIPS spontaneously segregates into CuInP2S6 and…
An analytical theory is developed for predicting the nonlinear susceptibility of ionic polarization to continuous electromagnetic waves in both bulk and strained thin film ferroelectrics. Using a perturbation method for solving the…
The temperature behaviour in the range 22\degree C to 500\degree C of the dielectric permittivity in the infrared range is investigated for CaF2, BaF2 and Al2O3 through reflectivity measurements. The dielectric permittivity is retrieved by…
Piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties in the two dimensional (2D) limit are highly desired for nanoelectronic, electromechanical, and optoelectronic applications. Here we report the first experimental evidence of out-of-plane…
Ferroelectrics that are also ionic conductors offer possibilities for novel applications with high tunability, especially if the same atomic species causes both phenomena. In particular, at temperatures just below the Curie temperature,…

Multiferroic materials are potential to be applied in novel magnetoelectric devices, for example, high-density non-volatile storage. Last decades, research on multiferroic materials was focused on three-dimensional (3D) materials. However,…
The appearance of spontaneous polarization in CuInP$_{2}$S$_{6}$ ferrielectrics is related to the second order Jahn-Teller effect for copper cations located in a double-well local potential, the stereoactivity of indium cations located in a…
