First-principles prediction of 2D non-centrosymmetric Al 2 O 3 with tunable piezoelectric and electric-field-responsive properties
Abstract
Using DFT and global structure search, a new non-centrosymmetric Al 2 O 3 is predicted. The structure can be tuned by using an external electric field. These results offer a pathway toward electric-field-gated non-volatile memory devices.
