contents Nanoscale ferroelectric 2D materials offer unique opportunity to investigate curvature and strain effects on materials functionalities. Among these, CuInP2S6 (CIPS) has attracted tremendous research interest in recent years due to combination of room temperature ferroelectricity, scalability to a few layers thickness, and unique ferrielectric properties due to coexistence of 2 polar sublattices. Here, we explore the local curvature and strain effect on the polarization in CIPS via piezoresponse force microscopy and spectroscopy. To explain the observed behaviors and decouple the curvature and strain effects in 2D CIPS, we introduce finite element Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire model. The results show that bending induces ferrielectric domains in CIPS, and the polarization-voltage hysteresis loops differ in bending and non-bending regions. Our simulation indicates that the flexoelectric effect can affect local polarization hysteresis. These studies open a novel pathway for the fabrication of curvature-engineered nanoelectronic devices.
