by John A. Brehm

Nature Materials, Published online: 18 November 2019; doi:10.1038/s41563-019-0532-z

The atomic displacements that generate ferroelectricity in materials commonly fit a double-well potential energy surface. Here, ferroelectricity in two-dimensional CuInP2S6 is shown to fit a quadruple well due to the van der Waals gap between layers of this material.

Author(s): D. S. Rabinovich, I. V. Bobkova, A. M. Bobkov, and M. A. Silaev

We describe resistive states of the system combining two types of orderings—a superconducting and a ferromagnetic one. It is shown that in the presence of magnetization dynamics such systems become inherently dissipative and in principle cannot sustain any amount of the superconducting current becau...
