Emerging phenomena from exotic ferroelectric topological states

In the past decade, a series of breakthrough discoveries in new exotic polar topological states have been witnessed, e.g., vortex, skyrmion, and meron. These tantalizing findings open a new avenue toward a plethora of emerging physical phenomena and offer opportunities for a wide range of future con...
