Prediction of intrinsic multiferroicity and large valley polarization in a layered Janus material by Yulin Feng, Shaoxuan Qi, Yangyang Ren, Meng Liu, Na Liu, Meifeng Liu, Qing Yang, Sheng Meng

“…Herein, we report that bilayer Janus FeSCl, a novel 2D system designed by substituting sulfur in monolayer 1T-FeCl2, exhibits a giant spontaneous valley polarization and intrinsic magnetoelectric coupling. This Janus structure exhibits a ground-state bilayer structure that breaks space-inversion symmetry, enabling sliding ferroelectricity. …”
