Using a first-principles approach based on density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory, we study the electronic properties of a new candidate polar metal SrEuMo$_2$O$_6$. Its electronic structure shares similarities with centrosymmetric SrMoO$_3$ and EuMoO$_3$, from which it may be considered an ordered derivative, but ferroelectric-like distortions of the divalent cations and oxygen anions lift inversion symmetry mediated by an anharmonic lattice interaction in the metallic state. We find that Hunds coupling promotes the effects of electronic correlations owing to the Mo$^{4+}$ $d^{2}$ electronic configuration, producing a correlated metallic phase far from the Mott state. The contraindication between metallicity and polar distortions is thereby alleviated through the renormalized quasiparticles, which are unable to fully screen the ordered local dipoles.
We examine the electronic properties of newly discovered ferroelectric metal LiOsO$_3$ combining density-functional and dynamical mean-field theories. We show that the material is close to a Mott transition and that electronic correlations can be tun ed to engineer a Mott multiferroic state in 1/1 superlattice of LiOsO$_3$ and LiNbO$_3$. We use electronic structure calculations to predict that the (LiOsO$_3$)$_1$/(LiNbO$_3$)$_1$ superlattice is a type-I multiferroic material with a ferrolectric polarization of 41.2~$mu$C cm$^{-2}$, Curie temperature of 927,K, and Neel temperature of 671,K. Our results support a route towards high-temperature multiferroics, emph{i.e.}, driving non-magnetic emph{polar metals} into correlated insulating magnetic states.
