Stabilization of sliding ferroelectricity through exciton condensation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Sliding ferroelectricity is a phenomenon that arises from the insurgence of spontaneous electronic polarization perpendicular to the layers of two-dimensional systems upon the relative sliding of the atomic layer constituents. Because of the weak van der

Coupled ferroelectricity and phonon chirality [PDF]

Nature Communications
Recognizing the coupling between ferroelectricity and chirality in optically active ferroelectrics opens a route for manipulating chirality via ferroelectricity under an external electric field, enabling control over chirality-dependent quantum states ...

Enhanced superconductivity and coexisting ferroelectricity at oxide interfaces [PDF]

Nature Communications
The coexistence of superconductivity and ferroelectricity is rare due to their conflicting requirements: superconductivity relies on free charge carriers, whereas ferroelectricity typically occurs in insulating systems.

Ferroelectricity in biological building blocks: Slipping on a banana peel?

Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2023
Ferroelectricity in biological system has been anticipated both theoretically and experimentally over the past few decades. Claims of ferroelectricity in biological systems have given rise to confusion and methodological controversy.

Biferroelectricity of a homochiral organic molecule in both solid crystal and liquid crystal phases

Nature Communications, 2022
Ferroelectricity normally exists in either solid crystals or liquid crystals. Here, the authors report a homochiral organic compound which shows ferroelectricity in both solid crystal and liquid crystal phases.

Pressure-induced ferroelectric-like transition creates a polar metal in defect antiperovskites Hg3Te2X2 (X = Cl, Br)

Nature Communications, 2021
Generally, ferroelectricity in ABO3 perovskites is suppressed by hydrostatic compression, but the evidence for pressure-induced ferroelectricity remains elusive. Here, the authors find a direct ferroelectric-like structural transition induced by pressure

0D van der Waals interfacial ferroelectricity

Nature Communications, 2023
The dimensional limit of ferroelectricity has been long explored. The critical contravention is that the downscaling of ferroelectricity leads to a loss of polarization.
