摘要:

寻找将看似不相容的自发电极化和金属性相结合的'铁电金属'已持续进行,但仍然难以捉摸。不同于传统铁电材料具有宽禁带,铁电(FE)金属可以在费米能级附近自然地包含非平凡的带拓扑结构,赋予其额外的奇特性质。在此,我们展示第一性原理证据表明,金属PtBi2单层是内在的二维(2D)拓扑铁电金属,其特征是垂直极化和中等的开关势垒。此外,它表现出拓扑非平凡的电子结构,其Z2不变量等于1,导致显著的铁电体光伏效应。轻微的应变可以进一步增强这种效应到显著的水平,远超之前报道的2D/3D铁电材料。我们的工作为实现内在单层拓扑铁电金属提供了重要一步,并为未来非线性光学设备开辟了有前景的道路。

英文摘要:

The pursuit for "ferroelectric metal" which combines seemingly incompatible spontaneous electric polarization and metallicity, has been assiduously ongoing but remains elusive. Unlike traditional ferroelectrics with a wide band gap, ferroelectric (FE) metals can naturally incorporate nontrivial band topology near the Fermi level, endowing them with additional exotic properties. Here, we show first-principles evidence that the metallic PtBi2 monolayer is an intrinsic two-dimensional (2D) topological FE metal, characterized by out-of-plane polarization and a moderate switching barrier. Moreover, it exhibits a topologically nontrivial electronic structure with Z2 invariant equal to 1, leading to a significant FE bulk photovoltaic effect. A slight strain can further enhance this effect to a remarkable level, which far surpass that of previously reported 2D/3D FE materials. Our work provides an important step towards realizing intrinsic monolayer topological FE metals and paves a promising way for future nonlinear optical devices.
