ABSTRACT The two-dimensional (2D) magnet, a long-standing missing member in the
family of 2D functional materials, is promising for nextgeneration information technology …

Although only a few 2D materials have been predicted to possess ferroelectricity, 2D
ferroelectrics are expected to play a dominant role in the upcoming nano era as important …

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectrics provide an unprecedented architectural
freedom for the creation of artificial multiferroics and nonvolatile electronic devices based on …

The state-of-the-art knowledge of ferroelectric and ferroelastic group-IV monochalcogenide
monolayers is surveyed. These semiconductors feature remarkable structural and …

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) links the spin degree of freedom to the orbital motion of electrons
in a solid and plays an important role in the emergence of new physical phenomena. In non …

Nonvanishing Berry curvature dipole (BCD) and persistent spin texture (PST) are intriguing
physical manifestations of electronic states in noncentrosymmetric 2D materials. The former …

Persistent spin texture (PST) can maintain a uniform spin configuration in the momentum
space, resulting in a spatially periodic mode known as a persistent spin helix (PSH). The …

The group-IV monochalcogenides are a set of binary materials MX composed by a group-IV
element (⁠ M= Sn or Ge) and a chalcogen (⁠ X= S or Se). Strong anisotropy is one of the …

Symmetries govern macroscopic physical quantities, and the electronic and spin properties
of crystals. Here, we demonstrate that the spin-orbit-induced spin polarization at the Brillouin …

In this paper, two nonsymmorphic two-dimensional structures of CdTe and ZnTe are
modeled, and using state-of-the-art density functional theory with the group theory of solids …
