Materials with a coexistence of magnetic and ferroelectric order—multiferroics—provide an
efficient route for the control of magnetism by electric fields. The study of multiferroics dates …

Nonlinear optics is an essential component of modern laser systems and optoelectronic
devices. It has also emerged as an important tool in probing the electronic, vibrational …

On the basis of successful first-principles predictions of new functional ferroelectric
materials, a number of new ferroelectrics have been experimentally discovered. Using …

Using epitaxy and the misfit strain imposed by an underlying substrate, it is possible to
elastically strain oxide thin films to percent levels—far beyond where they would crack in …

We use a combination of symmetry arguments and first-principles calculations to explore the
connection between structural distortions and ferroelectricity in the perovskite family of …

In two-dimensional layered quantum materials, the stacking order of the layers determines
both the crystalline symmetry and electronic properties such as the Berry curvature, topology …

Framework-structured weak ferromagnets are new rising stars in molecule-based magnetic
materials. The framework structures are powerful carriers for long-range ordering of spins …

Abstract Layered oxides, A 2 B'B ″O 6, with small ions at A-site mostly occupied by unusual-
metals like transitional metals are of great importance due to their strong and unusual …

Perovskite ABO3 oxides display an amazing variety of phenomena that can be altered by
subtle changes in the chemistry and internal structure, making them a favorite class of …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials from naturally occurring minerals are promising and
possess interesting physical properties. A new 2D material “Ilmenene” has been exfoliated …
