Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Single‐Atom Intercalation‐Driven Topological Ferroelectric Metal for High‐Performance Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐atom Cu intercalation enables porous AB3 monolayers to integrate ferroelectricity, metallicity, topology, and hydrogen evolution catalysis in one platform. Switchable FE polarization modulates work function and hydrogen adsorption thermodynamics, providing an electrically controllable route to activate basal‐plane HER activity in topological ...

Giant Bulk Photovoltaic Effect in Two‐Dimensional Topological Ferroelectric Semimetal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ferroelectric (FE) metals have attracted growing interest because they combine ferroelectricity with metallic behavior and enable polarization‐controlled band topology near the Fermi level. However, the number of known ferroelectric metals is still limited.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Symmetry Breaking

, 2019
Given a group $A$ acting on a set $X$, the distinguishing number, or asymmetric coloring number, denoted $D(A,X)$ or $ACN(A,X)$, is the smallest $k$ such that $X$ has a $k$-coloring where the only elements of $A$ preserving the coloring fix all elements ...

Sliding Ferroelectricity Driven Spin‐Layertronics in Altermagnetic Multilayers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating sliding ferroelectricity with altermagnetism enables nonvolatile electrical control of spin and layer degrees of freedom. In bilayer CuF2, interlayer translation reverses layer‐locked spin‐split bands, establishing a multifunctional “spin‐layertronic” platform.
