Coexistence of reversible polar distortions and metallicity leading to a ferroelectric metal,
first suggested by Anderson and Blount in 1965, has so far remained elusive. Electrically …

This Perspective addresses the design, creation, characterization and control of synthetic
quantum materials with strong electronic correlations. We show how emerging synergies …

Device applications of ferroelectrics have not only utilized the switchable polarization but
also adopted myriads of emerging physical properties. In particular, ferroelectrics in ultra …

Electric-dipole optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is a second-order nonlinear
process that is widely used as a sensitive probe to detect broken inversion symmetry and …

We review the class of materials known as polar metals, in which polarity and metallicity
coexist in the same phase. While the notion of polar metals was first invoked more than 50 …

The possibility of reconciliation between seemingly mutually exclusive properties in one
system can not only lead to theoretical breakthroughs but also potential novel applications …

Polar metals have recently garnered increasing interest because of their promising
functionalities. Here we report the experimental realization of an intrinsic coexisting …

We report the evolution of the electronic structure at the surface of the layered perovskite Sr
2 RuO 4 under large in-plane uniaxial compression, leading to anisotropic B 1 g strains of ϵ …
