Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

A Solid State Zwitterionic Plastic Crystal With High Static Dielectric Constant
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Developing solid high dielectric constant materials has been a research focus in the energy storage field. In this research, we discovered a zwitterion with a plastic crystal phase. Due to the short‐range degree of freedom of the dipole moment for this zwitterion, a relatively high static dielectric constant has been achieved in its solid state ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using MgO tunnel barriers face challenges of high resistance‐area product and low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). To discover alternative materials, Literature Enhanced Ab initio Discovery (LEAD) is developed. The LEAD‐predicted materials are theoretically evaluated, showing that MTJs with dusting of ScN or TiN on ...

On‐Surface Synthesis of Bismuth Monolayers through Ice‐Confined Redox Reactions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We report an ice‐confined growth strategy for the synthesis of atomically thin 2D bismuth and related 2D metals. This approach involves rapid freezing of a BiCl3 aqueous solution on an aluminum foil using liquid nitrogen, which triggers interfacial redox reactions between the ice and the aluminum surface.
