Unified definition of ferroelectricity
Wei Luo, Shihan Deng, Hongjun Xiang +1
Recent theoretical and experimental advances in quantum ferroelectrics suggest that ferroelectricity can also emerge in non-polar space group, highlighting the limitations of conve…
A Fully Ab-Initio Spin-Lattice Dynamics Framework for Magnetic Materials
Xianxi Zhang, Hongyu Yu, Liangliang Hong +1
Coupled spin-lattice dynamics (SLD) underlie a wide range of magnetic phenomena, yet a unified first-principles framework that propagates both degrees of freedom without empirical…
Topological-transition-driven Giant Enhancement of Second-harmonic Generation in Ferroelectric Bismuth Monolayer
Wen-Zheng Chen, Hongjun Xiang, Yusheng Hou
The interplay between band topology and light in condensed materials could unlock intriguing nonlinear optical phenomena, enabling modern photonic technologies such as quantum ligh…
Defect-Charge-Driven 90° Switching in HfO2
Muting Xie, Hongyu Yu, Zhihao Dai +3
Hafnium dioxide (HfO2) is a CMOS-compatible ferroelectric showing both 180° and 90° switching, yet the microscopic nature of the 90° pathway remains unresolved. We show that the…
Recent Advances in Unconventional Ferroelectrics and Multiferroics
Hongyu Yu, Junyi Ji, Wei Luo +2
Emerging ferroic materials may pave a new way to next-generation nanoelectronic and spintronic devices due to their interesting physical properties. Here, we systematically review…
Moiré-Induced Magnetoelectricity in Twisted Bilayer NiI2
Haiyan Zhu, Hongyu Yu, Weiqin Zhu +3
Twisted magnetic van der Waals (vdW) materials offer a promising route for multiferroic engineering, yet modeling large-scale moiré superlattices remains challenging. Leveraging a…
