Abstract

The emergence of negative capacitance in the ultrathin ferroelectric/paraelectric bilayer capacitor under electrical bias is examined using first-principles simulation. An antiferroelectric-like behavior is predicted, and negative capacitance is shown to emerge when the monodomain state becomes stable after bias application. The polydomain–monodomain transition is also shown to be a source of capacitance enhancement.
