2D ferroelectric devices: working principles and research progress

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric materials are promising for use in high-performance nanoelectronic devices due to the non-volatility, high storage density, low energy cost and short response time originating from their bistable and switchable polarization states. In this mini review, we first discuss the mechanism and operation principles of ferroelectric devices to facilitate understanding of these novel nanoelectronics and then summarize the latest research progress of electronic devices based on 2D ferroelectrics. Finally, the perspectives for future research and development directions in various fields are provided. We expect this will provide an overview regarding the application of 2D ferroelectrics in electronic appliances.
