(INVITED) Metallic ferroics: Coexistence of noncentrosymmetry, metallicity, electron correlation and magnetism
Metals are defined in condensed matter as materials that possess a Fermi surface. There is a distinct lack of bandgap, and the high electrical conductivity therefore screens the driving force for any polar displacement modes. However, in correlated electronic oxides, one can simultaneously possess a condensed noncentrosymmetric mode as well as a metallic Fermi surface. I will discuss one such material that is a room temperature metal, exhibits polar domains, charged and uncharged domain walls, a metal insulator transition, and magnetism. Thus such materials can possess a remarkable coexistence of polar metallicity, correlation physics, and multiferroicity.
