Abstract Ferroelectricity occurs in crystals with broken spatial inversion symmetry. In conventional perovskite oxides, concerted ionic displacements within a 3D network of transition‐metal–oxygen polyhedra ( M O x ) manifest spontaneous polarization. Meanwhile, some 2D networks foster geometric ferroelectricity magnetism, owing to the distortion polyhedra. Because fundamentally different mechanism network, one can further challenge an uncharted 1D channel and estimate its feasibility. Here,...
