The possibility of reconciliation between seemingly mutually exclusive properties in one system can not only lead to theoretical breakthroughs but also potential novel applications. The research on the coexistence of two purportedly contra-indicated properties, ferroelectricity/polarity and conductivity, proposed by Anderson and Blount over 50 years ago was recently revitalized by the discovery of the first unambiguous polar metal LiOsO3 and further fueled by the demonstration of the first switchable ferroelectric metal WTe2. In this review, we first discuss the reasons why the coexistence of ferroelectricity/polarity and conductivity have been deemed incompatible, followed by a review on the history of ferroelectric/polar metals. Secondly, we review the important milestones along with the corresponding mechanisms for the ferroelectric/polar metallic phases in these materials. Thirdly, we summarize the design approaches for ferroelectric/polar metals. Finally, we discuss the future prospects and potential applications of ferroelectric/polar metals.
Integrating multiple properties in a single system is crucial for the continuous developments in electronic devices. However, some physical properties are mutually exclusive in nature. Here, we report the coexistence of two seemingly mutually exclusi
An oxide heterostructure made of manganite bilayers and ferroelectric perovskites is predicted to lead to the full control of magnetism when switching the ferroelectric polarizations. By using asymmetric polar interfaces in the superlattices, more el
We report a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology compatible ferroelectric tunnel junction memristor grown directly on top of a Silicon substrate using a scandium doped aluminum nitride as the ferroelectric layer.
Controlling magnetism using voltage is highly desired for applications, but remains challenging due to fundamental contradiction between polarity and magnetism. Here we propose a mechanism to manipulate magnetic domain walls in ferrimagnetic or ferro
We have studied the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect in a polar antiferromagnet $alpha$-Cu$_{2}$V$_{2}$O$_{7}$ in contact with a Pt film. Below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature of $alpha$-Cu$_{2}$V$_{2}$O$_{7}$, spin Seebeck voltages whos
