Room-temperature ferroelectricity in CuInP2S6 ultrathin flakes

چکیده
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates for various optoelectronic applications based on their diverse electronic properties, ranging from insulating to superconducting. However, cooperative phenomena such as ferroelectricity in the 2D limit have not been well explored. Here, we report room-temperature ferroelectricity in 2D CuInP2S6 (CIPS) with a transition temperature of ∼320 K. Switchable polarization is observed in thin CIPS of ∼4 nm. To demonstrate the potential of this 2D ferroelectric material, we prepare a van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric diode formed by CIPS/Si heterostructure, which shows good memory behaviour with on/off ratio of ∼100. The addition of ferroelectricity to the 2D family opens up possibilities for numerous novel applications, including sensors, actuators, non-volatile memory devices, and various vdW heterostructures based on 2D ferroelectricity.

Ferroelectricity and Self-Polarization in Ultrathin Relaxor Ferroelectric Films
We report ferroelectricity and self-polarization in the (001) oriented ultrathin relaxor ferroelectric PMN-PT films grown on Nb-SrTiO3, SrRuO3 and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, respectively. Resistance-voltage measurements and AC impedance analysis suggest that at high temperatures Schottky depletion width in a 4 nm thick PMN-PT film deposited on Nb-SrTiO3 is smaller than the film thickness. We propose that ...
متن کاملRoom temperature rubbing for few-layer two-dimensional thin flakes directly on flexible polymer substrates
The functional layers of few-layer two-dimensional (2-D) thin flakes on flexible polymers for stretchable applications have attracted much interest. However, most fabrication methods are "indirect" processes that require transfer steps. Moreover, previously reported "transfer-free" methods are only suitable for graphene and not for other few-layer 2-D thin flakes. Here, a friction based room te...

Two-dimensional or ultrathin layered materials are attracting broad interest in both fundamental science and applications. While exfoliation can provide high-quality single- and few-layer flakes with nanometer to micrometer size, the development of wafer-scale synthesis methods is important for realizing the full potential of ultrathin layered materials. Here we demonstrate the growth of high q...

Highly strained films of BiFe0.5Mn0.5O3 (BFMO) grown at very low rates by pulsed laser deposition were demonstrated to exhibit both ferrimagnetism and ferroelectricity at room temperature and above. Magnetisation measurements demonstrated ferrimagnetism (TC ∼ 600K), with a room temperature saturation moment (MS ) of up to 90 emu/cc (∼ 0.58 μB /f.u) on high quality (001) SrTiO3. X-ray magnetic c...
