Interplay of metallicity, ferroelectricity, and layer charges in SmNiO_{3}/BaTiO_{3} superlattices

Using density-functional theory, we demonstrate that the formal layer charges of the metallic samarium nickelate electrode influence the spontaneous ferroelectric polarization of the barium titanate in SmNiO_{3}/BaTiO_{3} capacitors. We find that, despite the metallic screening of SmNiO_{3}, the spo...
