Sliding bilayers are systems that exploit the possibility of relatively translating two monolayers along a specific direction in real space, such that different stackings could be implemented in the process. This simple approach allows for…
Ferroelectric and two-dimensional materials are both heavily investigated classes of electronic materials. This is unsurprising since they both have superlative fundamental properties and high-value applications in computing, sensing etc.…
This study explores the world of across-layer sliding ferroelectricity in multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and gallium nitride (hGaN), aiming to control out-of-plane polarization. By investigating the effects of sliding single or…
The two-dimensional (2D) multiferroic materials have widespread of application prospects in facilitating the integration and miniaturization of nanodevices. However, it is rarely coupling between the magnetic, ferroelectric, and ferrovalley…

Sliding and twisting van der Waals layers with respect to each other gives rise to moir\'e structures with emergent electronic properties. Electrons in these moir\'e structures feel weak potentials that are typically in the tens of…
Despite their ionic nature, many layered diatomic crystals avoid internal electric polarization by forming a centrosymmetric lattice at their optimal anti-parallel van-der-Waals stacking. Here, we report a stable ferroelectric order…

Van der Waals polytypes are commensurate configurations of two-dimensional layers with discrete crystalline symmetries and distinct stacking-dependent properties. In graphitic polytypes, the different stacking arrangements of graphene…
Multiferroic materials provide robust and efficient routes for the control of magnetism by electric fields, which has been diligently sought after for a long time. The two-dimensional (2D) vdW multiferroics is a more exciting endeavour. To…
