The emerging ferroic orderings in two dimensions

Because of the discovery of carbon atomic flat land, emerging physical phenomena are reported using the platform of two-dimensional materials and their hetero-structures. Especially, quantum orderings, such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and ferroelectricity in the atomically thin limit are cutting edge topics, which are of broad interest in the scope of condensed matter physics. In this study, we will recall the recent developments on two-dimensional ferroic orderings from both experimental and theoretical points of view. The booming of ferroic orderings in van der Waals two-dimensional materials are believed to hold promises for the next generation spin- or dipole-related nanoelectronics, because they can be seamlessly interfaced into heterostructures, and in principle are in line with large scale low-cost growth, flexible wearable devices, as well as semiconducting electronics thanks to the existence of band gaps in many of them.
