Talk:Polar metal

Suggestions/requests

• It says "should not exist in theory" so that theory must be wrong/inapplicable. Should just replace that with "are unexpected" ?
  • changed
• Can we explain how Anderson & Blount explained their possible existence despite the charge redistribution in metals ?
  • Now I have consulted their paper this is included
• Is LaNiO₃ only a polar metal in thin layers ? If so why ?
  • So far only found to be so in thin layers on that 111 crystal face, so it probably needs to be strained to work.
• Can we say if LiOsO₃ is found or predicted to be a polar metal in the bulk, or only in thin layers ?
  • is found to be a polar metal in powder, polychrystalline or single crystal, thin film not tested yet.
