An antisite defect mechanism for room temperature ferroelectricity in orthoferrites
Nature Communications, 2021 Ferroelectricity in orthoferrite perovskites has stimulated intense research, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, the authors propose an antisite defect mechanism for introducing ferroelectricity in magnetically ordered YFeO3 and the family of rare ...

Ferroelectricity in Simple Binary Crystals
Crystals, 2017 The origin of ferroelectricity in doped binary crystals, Pb1−xGexTe, Cd1−xZnxTe, Zn1−xLixO, and Hf1−xZrxO2 is discussed, while no binary ferroelectrics have been reported except for two crystals, HCl and HBr. The ferroelectricity is induced only in doped

Purely in-plane ferroelectricity in monolayer SnS at room temperature
Nature Communications, 2020 Out-of-plane ferroelectricity is usually unstable in the two dimensional limit due to the presence of the depolarization field. Here, the authors successfully circumvent this issue by growing µm-sized SnS monolayers that exhibit in-plane ferroelectricity

Improper electric polarization in simple perovskite oxides with two magnetic sublattices
Nature Communications, 2017 Magnetically-driven ferroelectricity holds the key for novel multiferroic effects in perovskite oxides, but it remains poorly understood. Here, Zhaoet al.

Ga-substitution effects on the improper ferroelectric phase transition of Ca8[AlO2]12(MoO4)2
Open Ceramics, 2021 The aluminum-sodalite-type oxide, Ca8[AlO2]12(MoO4)2, shows an improper ferroelectricity below a ferroelectric phase transition temperature around 630 K. Here we present effects of a Ga-substitution for Al on ferroelectric properties of Ca8[AlO2]12(MoO4)
