We consider nanoflakes of van der Waals ferrielectric ${Cu In P}_{2} S_{6}$ covered by an ionic surface charge and reveal the appearance of polar states with a relatively large polarization of approximately 5 µC/ ${cm}^{2}$ and stored free charge of around 10 µC/ ${cm}^{2}$ , which can mimic “midgap” states associated with a surface-field-induced transfer of $Cu$ and/or $In$ ions in the van der Waals gap. The change in the ionic screening degree and mismatch strains induce a broad range of the transitions between paraelectric phase, antiferroelectric, ferrielectric, and ferri-ionic states in ${Cu In P}_{2} S_{6}$ nanoflakes. The states’ stability and/or metastability is determined by the minimum of the system free energy consisting of electrostatic energy, elastic energy, and a Landau-type four-well potential of the ferrielectric dipole polarization. The possibility of governing the transitions by strain and ionic screening can be useful for controlling the tunneling barrier in thin-film devices based on ${Cu In P}_{2} S_{6}$ nanoflakes. Additionally, we predict that the ${Cu In P}_{2} S_{6}$ nanoflakes reveal features of the controllable negative capacitance effect, which make them attractive for advanced electronic devices, such as nanocapacitors and gate oxide nanomaterials with reduced heat generation.
