Enhanced superconductivity and coexisting ferroelectricity at oxide interfaces [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe 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.
