Vortex-enhanced photovoltaic current in disordered topological materials
Pavlo Sukhachov, Penghao Zhu, Ella Banyas +2
In disordered topological materials, real-space crystalline defects interplay with momentum-space wave function singularities to \textit{enhance} the bulk photovoltaic current. Wha…

Polar Topologies in a Ferroelastic Metal Membrane
Rahil Haria, Noah Schnitzer, T. Ben Britton +10
Polar metals, materials in which electric polarisation and metallicity coexist, are exceptionally rare because itinerant electrons screen long-range dipoles and favour centrosymmet…

Discovery of a new weberite-type antiferroelectric: La3NbO7
Louis Alaerts, Jesse Schimpf, Xinyan Li +7
Antiferroelectrics are antipolar materials which possess an electric field-induced phase transition to a polar, ferroelectric phase and offer significant potential for sensing/actu…
