Electrically switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) is highly valuable in electro-optic modulators, which can be deployed in data communication and quantum optics. Coupling circular dichroism (CD) with an electrically controlled SHG process is advantageous because it enhances the signal transmission bandwidth and security while enabling multiple modulation modes for optical logic. However, ferroelectrically switchable chiral second-order nonlinearity is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate the electro-optic modulation of SHG based on the multipolar effect in a chiral ferroelectric two-dimensional hybrid perovskite -(FBDA)CdCl (-FBDA = (2)-2-fluorobutane-1,4-diamine). -(FBDA)CdCl (-FCC) crystals are highly stable in air, and its SHG response exhibits circular dichroism (i.e., SHG-CD) that can be ferroelectrically switched. The ferroelectrically switchable SHG-CD arises from the reconfiguration of distinct chirality-induced multipolar moments during the ferroelectric switching process. This reconfiguration induces a π/2 circular difference in SHG, leading to a reversal of circularly polarized light sensitivity. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate that the electrically controlled SHG-CD of -FCC can be used in the transmission of encrypted optical communications.

Due to its "ferroionic" nature, CuInPS combines switchable ferroelectric polarization with highly mobile Cu ions, allowing for multiple resistance states. Its conductive mechanism involves ferroelectric switching, ion migration, and corresponding intercoupling, which are highly sensitive to external electric field. Distinguishing the dominant contribution of either ferroelectric switching or ion migration to dynamic conductivity remains a challenge and the conductive mechanism is not clear yet.

Organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectrics have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding piezoelectricity, mechanical flexibility, and robust nonlinear optical properties. But the species with above room-temperature (RT) ferroelectricity, visible-light bandgap, and high photoelectric performance are still scarce. Herein, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric [CNH][SbI] has been synthesized hydrothermally and employed as a light-absorbing layer in organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells.

Ferroelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) materials at room temperature has attracted significant interest due to their substantial potential for applications in non-volatile memory, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics. The intrinsic tendency of 2D materials toward nonstoichiometry results in atomic configurations that differ from those of their stoichiometric counterparts, thereby giving rise to potential ferroelectric polarization properties. However, reports on the emergence of room temperature ferroelectric effects in nonstoichiometric 2D materials remain limited.
