Twist-induced Out-of-plane Ferroelectricity in Bilayer Hafnia

Jian Huang, Gwan Yeong Jung, Pravan Omprakash +6

Ferroelectric HfO2 is a promising candidate for next-generation memory devices due to its CMOS compatibility and ability to retain polarization at nanometer scales. However, the po…

Design Rules and Discovery of Face-Sharing Hexagonal Perovskites

M. J. Swamynadhan, Gwan Yeong Jung, Pravan Omprakash +1

Hexagonal perovskites with face-sharing octahedral connectivity are an underexplored class of materials. We propose quantitative design principles for stabilizing face-sharing ABX3…

Hole-doping reduces the coercive field in ferroelectric hafnia

Pravan Omprakash, Gwan Yeong Jung, Guodong Ren +1

Ferroelectric hafnia (HfO2) holds promise for next-generation memory and logic applications because of its CMOS compatibility. However, the high coercive field required for polariz…

Sub-nm2 ferroelectric domains via charged 180 degree walls in ZrO2

Nashrah Afroze, Hamoon Fahrvandi, Guodong Ren +31

Flat phonon bands in fluorite ferroelectrics (HfO2 or ZrO2) shrink polar domains laterally to an irreducible half-unit-cell width (0.27 nm) within which the vertical arrangement of…

Emergent Atomic Scale Polarisation Vortices in BaTiS3

Boyang Zhao, Gwan Yeong Jung, Shantanu Singh +21

Topological defects, such as vortices and skyrmions in magnetic and dipolar systems, can give rise to properties that are not observed in typical magnets and dielectrics. Here, we…

Topological interfacial states in ferroelectric domain walls of two-dimensional bismuth

Wei Luo, Yang Zhong, Hongyu Yu +4

Using machine learning methods, we explore different types of domain walls in the recently unveiled single-element ferroelectric, the bismuth monolayer [Nature 617, 67 (2023)]. Rem…
