We explore the formation of single bilayer Sb(111) ultrathin film (Antimonene) on Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 substrates for first time, which is theoretically predicated to be a robust trivial semiconductor but can tuned 2D TI by reducing buckling height. From angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements, antimonene well grown two surfaces shows clear band dispersion.

Going against the grain: Normally, electric polarization of a ferroelectric compound switches to align itself with sufficiently strong applied field. Here authors report switching in van der Waals (vdW) crystals that is based on ion migration across vdW gap. This ionic mechanism complementary but fundamentally different from rotation underpinning usual picture switching. These findings change way we think about materials featuring both and dipolar properties enable fresh functionality...

The van der Waals layered material CuInP2S6 features interesting functional behavior, including the existence of four uniaxial polarization states, reversal against electric field through Cu ion migration, a negative-capacitance regime, and reversible extraction ions. At heart these characteristics lies high mobility ions, which also determines spontaneous polarization. Therefore, migration across lattice results in unusual ferroelectric behavior. Here, we demonstrate how interplay polar...
