Fluid Layered Ferroelectrics with Global C∞v Symmetry
Ferroelectricity in fluid materials, which allows free rotation of molecules, is an unusual phenomenon raising cutting‐edge questions in science. Conventional ferroelectric liquid crystals have been found in phases with low symmetry that permit the ...

Improper electric polarization in simple perovskite oxides with two magnetic sublattices
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
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)

Interplay of 4f-3d Magnetism and Ferroelectricity in DyFeO3
DyFeO3 exhibits a weak ferromagnetism (TNFe ~ 645 K) that disappears below a spin-reorientation (Morin) transition at TSRFe ~ 50 K. It is also known that applied magnetic field induces ferroelectricity at the magnetic ordering temperature of Dy-ions ...

Nonfrustrated magnetoelectric with incommensurate magnetic order in magnetic field
We discuss a model nonfrustrated magnetoelectric in which strong enough magnetoelectric coupling produces incommensurate magnetic order leading to ferroelectricity. Properties of the magnetoelectric in magnetic field directed perpendicular to wave vector

Ferroelectricity in Simple Binary Crystals
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

Tunable ferroelectricity and anisotropic electric transport in monolayer $\beta$-GeSe
Low-dimensional ferroelectricity has attracted tremendous attention due to its huge potential in device applications. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we predict the existence of spontaneous in-plane electrical polarization and ...
