abstract = {Ferroelectric metals—with coexisting ferroelectricity and
structural asymmetry—challenge traditional perceptions
because free electrons screen electrostatic forces between
ions, the driving force of breaking the spatial inversion
symmetry. Despite ferroelectric metals having been unveiled
one after another, topologically switchable polar objects
with metallicity have never been identified so far. Here,
the discovery of real‐space topological ferroelectricity
in metallic and non‐centrosymmetric Ni2P is reported.
Protected by the rotation–inversion symmetry operation, it
is found that the balanced polarity of alternately stacked
polyhedra couples intimately with elemental valence states,
which are verified using quantitative electron energy‐loss
spectroscopy. First‐principles calculations reveal that an
applied in‐plane compressive strain creates a tunable
bilinear double‐well potential and reverses the polyhedral
polarity on a unit‐cell scale. The dual roles of nickel
cations, including polar displacement inside polyhedral
cages and a 3D bonding network, facilitate the coexistence
of topological polarity with metallicity. In addition, the
switchable in‐plane polyhedral polarity gives rise to a
spin–orbit‐coupling‐induced spin texture with large
momentum‐dependent spin splitting. These findings point
out a new direction for exploring valence–polarity–spin
correlative interactions via topological ferroelectricity in
metallic systems with structural asymmetry.},
