Ferroelectricity results from one of the most representative phase transitions in solids, and is
widely used for technical applications. However, observations of ferroelectricity in organic …

The development of organic ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics with significantly improved
performances has recently increased. Their attractive features are environmentally benign …

The electric-field-induced phase transition from antipolar to polar structures is at the heart of
antiferroelectricity. We demonstrate direct evidence of antiferroelectricity by applying a …

Molecular displacement in an alternating chain of donors and acceptors triggers ferroelectric
switching of large electric polarization with a low electric field in some charge-transfer …

Organic ferroelectrics are multifunctional candidates for future organic electronic and optical
devices. In spite of their potential, only a few organic compounds are known to exhibit a …

Although ferroelectric compounds containing hydrogen bonds were among the first to be
discovered, organic ferroelectrics are relatively rare. The discovery of high polarization at …

We present a theoretical investigation of the anomalous ferroelectricity of mixed-stack
charge transfer molecular crystals, based on the Peierls-Hubbard model, and first-principles …

Hydrogen bonding in solids has provided diverse attractive issues. Prof. CNR Rao and his
collaborators have made representative achievements on experimental and theoretical …

Antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric transitions in squaric acid are simulated by computationally
applying a static electric field. Depending on the direction of the electric field, two different …

Ferroelectricity and antiferroelectricity are widely seen in various types of condensed matter
and are of technological significance not only due to their electrical switchability but also due …
