Ferroelectricity-the switchable intrinsic electric polarization-has not yet been attained in a metal experimentally and is in fact generally deemed irreconcilable with free carriers, although polar metal has been achieved recently.…
Ferroelectricity is characterized by the presence of spontaneous and switchable macroscopic polarization. Scaling limits of ferroelectricity have been of both fundamental and technological importance, but the probes of ferroelectricity have…
In order to clarify the influence of ferromagnetism on superconductivity through a normal metal layer, the superconducting properties of epitaxial Nb(110)/Au(111)/Fe(110) trilayers were studied as a function of the thickness tAu of the…
Abstract: We report on emergence of an abnormal electronic polarization in twisted double bilayer WSe2 in antiparallel interface stacking geometry, where local centrosymmetry of atomic registries at the twist interface does not favor the…
Ferroelectricity can exist in elemental phases as a result of charge transfers between atoms occupying inequivalent Wyckoff positions. We investigate the emergence of ferroelectricity in two-dimensional elemental materials with buckled…
Ideal magnetic topological materials have great significance in both fundamental physics and technical applications, due to their abundant exotic quantum properties and facilitation of control. Using first-principles calculations, we find…
We report the electronic and magnetic properties of stoichiometric CeAuBi$_{2}$ single crystals. At ambient pressure, CeAuBi$_{2}$ orders antiferromagnetically below a N\'{e}el temperature ($T_{N}$) of 19 K. Neutron diffraction experiments…
The electronic functionality of thin films is governed by their interfaces. This is very important for the ferroelectric (FE) state which depends on thin-film clamping and interfacial charge transfer. Here we show that in a heterostructure…
Polar metals, materials in which electric polarisation and metallicity coexist, are exceptionally rare because itinerant electrons screen long-range dipoles and favour centrosymmetric structures. Engineering polar textures in a conducting…
At variance with structural ferroic phase transitions which give rise to macroscopic tensors coupled to macroscopic fields, criteria defining antiferroelectric (AFE) phase transitions are still under discussion due to the absence of…
Unusual phases and phase transitions are seen at the magnetic-nonmagnetic boundary in Ce, Eu and Yb-based compounds. EuNi$_2$P$_{2}$ is a very unusual valence fluctuating Eu system, because at low temperatures the Eu valence stays close to…
We report the magnetic and electrical characteristics of a polycrystalline specimen of FeTiO3 synthesized at high pressure that is isostructural with acentric LiNbO3 (LBO). Piezoresponse force microscopy, optical second harmonic generation,…
Metal-organic frameworks comprehend a wide class of hybrid organic-inorganic materials with general structure A$_m$BX$_n$, with $A$ and $X$ being organic molecules and B a metal cation. This often results in enhanced structural flexibility…
The ability to manipulate ferroelectrics at ultrafast speeds has long been an elusive target for materials research. Coherently exciting the ferroelectric mode with ultrashort optical pulses holds the promise to switch the ferroelectric…
Halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for next-generation photovoltaics, laser sources and X-ray detectors. There is intense debate as to whether some photoactive halide perovskites exhibit ferroelectric behaviour and…
The effective barrier height between an electrode and a ferroelectric (FE) depends on both macroscopic electrical properties and microscopic chemical and electronic structure. The behavior of a prototypical electrode/FE/electrode structure,…
The coexistence of seemingly mutually exclusive properties such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity and metallicity in atomically thin materials is the requirement of the hour in electronics as the Moore's law faces an impending end. Only a…
Fluorite ferroelectrics are exciting candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory devices because their unique ferroelectric mechanism, which arises from unconventional oxygen displacements, permits ferroelectricity with minimal…
Ferroelectricity has been believed unable to coexist with metallicity since the free carriers can screen the internal coulomb interactions of dipoles. Very recently, one kind of materials called as ferroelectric metal was reexamined. Here,…
In mixed-valence or heavy-fermion systems, the hybridization between local $f$ orbitals and conduction band states can cause the suppression of long-range magnetic order, which competes with strong spin fluctuations. Ce- and Yb-based…
