Abstract

Correction for ‘Two-dimensional polar metal of a PbTe monolayer by electrostatic doping’ by Tao Xu et al., Nanoscale Horiz., 2020, 5, 1400–1406, DOI: 10.1039/D0NH00188K.

Regrettably, the authors have detected an error in the value of the polarization of the pristine PbTe monolayer in the original manuscript. The polarization is shown incorrectly as 29.2 × 10−10 C m−1 in the text on page 3. The correct value is 15 pC m−1. This value is larger than that of some other 2D ferroelectrics1,2 with the same out-of-plane polarization but is smaller than the reported in-plane polarization of about 100 pC m−1 in ultrathin ferroelectric SnTe3 due to the strong depolarization field in out-of-plane ferroelectrics. Due to this error, the parameters image file: d0nh90052d-t1.tif and J in the effective Hamiltonian model for PbTe in Table S1 and the energy contributions in the Hamiltonian in Fig. 4 in the original manuscript should also be modified accordingly. The updated Table S1 and Fig. 4 are given below.

It should be noted that these changes do not affect the discussion, conclusions and the proposed new concept of the manuscript.
