1303.3928 (S. A. Mikhailov)

Prediction of the ferroelectric ground state of graphene and other
two-dimensional crystals
   [PDF]

S. A. Mikhailov
A spontaneous electric polarization in the many-body ground state of graphene and other similar materials, such as boron nitride and bilayer graphene, is predicted. This transition to the ferroelectric ground state is a consequence of strong Coulomb interaction between $\pi$-electrons in two-dimensional lattices.
