Room-temperature ferroelectricity in MoTe2 down to the atomic monolayer limit
It is difficult to maintain ferroelectricity in the two dimensional limit. Here, the authors report robust room-temperature ferroelectricity in the thinnest monolayer MoTe2 due to relative atomic displacements of Mo and Te atoms.
