The crystal structure of 0.06% Ce-doped SrMgF4, strontium magnesium tetrafluoride, reported by Ishizawa et al. [(2001), Acta Cryst. C57, 784–786]  is shown to satisfy the structural criteria for ferroelectricity and to have a predicted Curie temperature T c ≃ l450 K. The estimated spontaneous polarization P s ≃ 11 × 10−2 C m−2 is consistent with classification as a two-dimensional ferroelectric in which minor Δx and major Δy, Δz atomic coordinate component displacements are required for ferroelectric switching.

ABSTRACTA ferroelectric crystal with charge-free surface conditions contains polarized domains which can form a flux closure with zero net polarization. In the presence of an external electric field, the flux closure in a two-dimensional continuum reorients its spontaneous polarization to align with the field. Based on this concept of ferroelectric switching coupled with mechanical straining, we demonstrate the working principle of a ferroelectric nano-actuator. The behavior of the actuator is explored under the action of electro-mechanical loading and its mechanism is simulated with a 2D phase-field model. The design of nano-actuator is modified to achieve greater actuation displacements by bending a thin device.

Abstract Twisted graphene multilayers provide tunable platforms to engineer flat bands and exploit the associated strongly correlated physics. The two-dimensional nature of these systems makes them suitable for encapsulation by materials that break specific symmetries. In this context, recently discovered two-dimensional helimagnets, such as the multiferroic monolayer NiI2, are specially appealing for breaking time-reversal and inversion symmetries due to their nontrivial spin textures. Here we show that this spin texture can be imprinted on the electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene by proximity effect. We discuss the dependence of the imprinted spin texture on the wave-vector of the helical structure, and on the strength of the effective local exchange field. Based on these results we discuss the nature of the superconducting instabilities that can take place in helimagnet encapsulated twisted bilayer graphene. Our results put forward helimagnetic encapsulation as a powerful way of designing spin-textured flat band systems, providing a starting point to engineer a new family of correlated moire states.
