Room temperature ferroelectricity in monolayer graphene sandwiched between hexagonal boron nitride by Fanrong Lin, Xiaoyu Xuan, Zhonghan Cao, Zhuhua Zhang, Ying Liu, Minmin Xue, Yang Hang, Xin Liu, Yizhou Zhao, Libo Gao, Wanlin Guo, Yanpeng Liu

“…The ferroelectricity also exists in similarly sandwiched bilayer and trilayer graphene, yet the polarization is slightly decreased with odd-even parity. Ab initio calculations suggest that the ferroelectricity is associated with a unique switchable co-sliding motion between graphene and adjacent boron nitride layer, in contrast to existing conventional vdW sliding ferroelectrics. …”
