New era of two-dimensional ferroelectrics: Reviewing layered van-der-Waals ferroelectrics for future nanoelectronics

A research team reviews the emerging field of 2D ferroelectric materials with layered van-der-Waals crystal structures, a novel class of materials that is highly interesting for future nanoelectronics, ultra-low energy electronics, high-performance, non-volatile data-storage, high-response optoelectronics, and flexible (energy-harvesting or wearable) electronics.
