Ferroelectric critical size of SnTe nanoribbon and its mechanical strain engineering

We investigate the critical size of ferroelectricity in monolayer tin telluride (SnTe) nanoribbon by using ab initio (first-principles) density functional theory calculations. The edge of SnTe nanoribbon tends to suppress the ferroelectricity and the edge effect ranges within the 4 unit cells (~1.8...
