Substrate, temperature, and magnetic field dependence of electric polarization in mixed-stacking tetralayer graphenes by Patrick Johansen Sarsfield, Aitor Garcia-Ruiz (艾飛宇), Vladimir I. Fal'ko

“…Here, we compare the intrinsic polarization of such TLGs with the symmetry-breaking effect of a substrate, which can also generate out-of-plane electric dipole moments with different sizes in all four polytypes, including ABCB and ABAC twins. We analyze their temperature and magnetic field dependence, in view of understanding the origin of the recently measured Kelvin probe force microscopy maps of tetralayer flakes [S. …”
