First Observation of Induced Ferroelectric and Magnetoelectric Properties in Pristine and Ni‐Intercalated Mo2TiC2Tx Double Transition Metal MXene

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, multiferroic (MF) materials have attained remarkable attention because of their exceptional ability to demonstrate both ferroelectric (FE) and magnetic properties simultaneously which has lead to their applications in memory, sensors, and energy storage devices. Here, a simple synthesis approach is used to enhance the ferroelectricity and induce the multiferroicity in double transition metal carbide (DTM) MXene film. The successful synthesis is confirmed by X‐ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. In addition, the FE and magnetic hysteresis (MH) loops are conducted to observe the nature of synthesized materials. Furthermore, the magnetoelectric (ME) effect is also examined to explore its significance in data storage and ME signal generation devices. Thus, the findings reveal the first report on the co‐existence of FE and magnetic properties of DTM MXene for potential applications in nano‐electronic devices of future technology.
