Polar nanoregions and reentrant-like ferroelectric behavior in SrTiO

Yuan-Jie Sun, Fei Yang, Long-Qing Chen

Recent real-space imaging in quantum paraelectric SrTiO [Nature 656, 54 (2026)] reveals that local polar textures do not continuously grow upon cooling, but reach a maximum int…

A composite electron-lattice order: electronic nematicity of 2DEG and polarization density waves at a near-ferroelectric interface

Fei Yang, Zhi-Yang Wang, Long-Qing Chen

We consider a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at a near-ferroelectric interface and strongly coupled to polar phonons. Through a self-consistent microscopic many-body ca…
