报告题目：Charge Stabilized Ferroelectric phase of HfO₂ and Interlayer- Polarization Effects on topological transport properties of MnBi₂Te₄

报告内容简介：

Ferroelectric materials have a spontaneous electric polarization that can be switched between two or more orientations with an applied electric field. They enable devices such as nonvolatile random-access memories, ferroelectric field-effect transistors, and ferroelectric tunnel junctions. The discoveries of ferroelectricity in HfO₂, and sliding ferroelectricity in Van der Waals (VDW) materials are both attractive as they can be integrated with Si relatively easily, and provide an extra avenue to tailor magnetic orders as well as topological transport properties. However, the ferroelectric phase of HfO₂ is metastable, and it can only be stabilized on proper substrates or under specific growth conditions. Here, we will show that charge redistribution in HfO₂ can efficiently modulate the relative stabilities of its polar and non-polar phases, and hole doping contributes to stabilize polar phase of HfO₂^1-3. Furthermore, we will show that out-of-plane polarization that can be achieved in VDW materials through interlayer sliding. Even the sliding polarization is relatively week (0.01 μC/cm₂), it determines the direction anomalous hall current in even-layer MnBi₂Te₄, and can make odd-layer MnBi₂Te₄ magnetic topological insulator or trivial insulators⁴.
