Initially considered little more than a scientific curiosity, the family of 2D nanomaterials has become increasingly popular over the last decade [...]
Low-dimensional ferroelectricity have attracted enormous attention due to their applications in miniaturized devices and understanding the dimension effect on ferroelectricity is of significant importance. Based on first-principles calculations, we have...
Two-dimensional multiferroic materials with controllable magnetism have promising prospects in miniaturized devices. By performing first-principles calculations, we predict that MnF4 monolayer is a ferroelastic semiconductor with an energy barrier ~160...
The past and present goal of photonic technology stems in the fine and arbitrary control of light propagation within miniaturized devices that can possibly integrate different functionalities [...]
