A computational search for wurtzite-structured ferroelectrics with low coercive voltages

Ferroelectricity has recently been observed in wurtzite-structured Sc-doped AlN thin films, five years after our initial prediction of ferroelectricity in wurtzite compounds based on first-principles calculations. The thin films exhibited a much higher coercive voltage (3 MV/cm) than that of convent...
