Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric (FE) systems are promising candidates for non-volatile nanodevices. Previous studies mainly focused on 2D compounds. Though counter-intuitive, here we propose several new phases of tellurium with (anti)ferroelectricity. Two-dimensional films can be viewed as a coll...
