Electric toroidal dipole order and hidden spin polarization in ferroaxial materials
We investigate the role of electric toroidal dipoles in the prototypical ferroaxial materials NiTiO_{3} and K_{2}Zr(PO_{4})_{2}, which undergo ferroaxial structural phase transitions of order-disorder and displacive type, respectively. Using first-principles electronic structure theory, we compute t...
