Unlocking Static Polarization and Strain Density Waves in Perovskites by Softening a Hidden Antiferrodistortive Tilt Gradient Mode
Yajun Zhang, Devesh R. Kripalani, Xu He +9
Spin density waves (SDWs) represent a fundamental paradigm of spatially modulated order in condensed matter systems, yet their electrical and mechanical analogues polarization and…
Are Foundational Atomistic Models Reliable for Finite-Temperature Molecular Dynamics?
Denan Li, Jiyuan Yang, Xiangkai Chen +2
Machine learning force fields have emerged as promising tools for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, potentially offering quantum-mechanical accuracy with the efficiency of class…
Enhancing ferroelectric stability: Wide-range of adaptive control in epitaxial HfO2/ZrO2 superlattices
Jingxuan Li, Shiqing Deng, Liyang Ma +12
The metastability of the polar phase in HfO2, despite its excellent compatibility with the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process, remains a key obstacle for its industria…
Theoretical lower limit of coercive field in ferroelectric hafnia
Jiyuan Yang, Jing Wu, Jingxuan Li +4
The high coercive field () of hafnia-based ferroelectrics presents a major obstacle to their applications. The ferroelectric switching mechanisms in hafnia that dictate ,…
Topological phase transitions in perovskite superlattices driven by temperature, electric field, and doping
Jiyuan Yang, Shi Liu
Many dipolar topological structures have been experimentally demonstrated in (PbTiO)/(SrTiO) superlattices, such as flux-closure, vortice, and skyrmion. In this wor…
