Pressure-induced ferroelectric-like transition creates a polar metal in defect antiperovskites Hg3Te2X2 (X = Cl, Br)

Generally, ferroelectricity in ABO3 perovskites is suppressed by hydrostatic compression, but the evidence for pressure-induced ferroelectricity remains elusive. Here, the authors find a direct ferroelectric-like structural transition induced by pressure in defect antiperovskites.
