Description
Zhou Zhou and colleagues study 2026 imaging electric polar switching in multi-layer graphene. At root, distinct from conventional FE materials, the most telling hallmark of new 2D sliding FE is polar switching via domain wall sliding. Meanwhile, multi-layer graphene has recently attracted huge research attention owing to tunable strong electron links and non-trivial band shape. Domain wall sliding-induced electric polar switching is seen for the first time in multi-layer graphene.
The authors identify nearby polar domains of opposite electric polarizations in four-layer graphene, the thinnest natural graphene form with broken inversion and mirror patterns, by a gate-tunable nano-scale optical imaging technique. They see and realize domain wall sliding-induced polar switching between these polar domains upon use of global and local electric fields and push forces. Combined tests and theory find a single domain wall sliding at the middle.
