Symmetry-engineering ferroelectricity in silicon dioxides
It is a long-established rule for classical ferroelectricity that any ferroelectric crystal must adopt one of the 10 specific polar point groups.
It is a long-established rule for classical ferroelectricity that any ferroelectric crystal must adopt one of the 10 specific polar point groups. Here we predict a unique type of ferroelectricity that can be generated in some crystals belonging to nonpolar noncentrosymmetric…
