Two-dimensional materials that exhibit spontaneous electric polarization are of notable interest for functional materials. However, despite the prediction of many two-dimensional polar materials, the number of experimentally confirmed two-dimensional ferroelectrics is far less than bulk ferroelectrics. We provide strong evidence that the Pmn2(1) phase of arsenic chalcogenides As2X3 (X = S, Se, and Te), which include the recently isolated monolayer orpiment, are intrinsic ferroelectrics and demonstrate strong in-plane piezoelectricity. We found the calculated energy barriers for collectively reversing the electric polarization or moving a 180 degrees domain wall are reasonable compared to previously reported ferroelectrics. We propose a high-symmetry structure (with Pmmn space group) that transforms into the ferroelectric Pmn2(1) phase by a soft B-2u phonon mode. By studying other soft modes of the high-symmetry Pmmn structure, we identify several undiscovered metastable polymorphs, including a polar phase (with a P2(1) space group) with sizable piezoelectricity.
