Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | Summary:We demonstrate electrically switchable, non-volatile dipoles in graphene/thin hBN/$α$-RuCl$_3$ heterostructures, stabilized purely by interfacial charge transfer across an atomically thin dielectric barrier. This mechanism requires no sliding or twisting to explicitly break inversion symmetry and produces robust ferroelectric-like hysteresis loops that emerge prominently near 30~K. Systematic measurements under strong in-plane […]
