Electric field utilized to locally pin magnetic domain walls

No Primordial Magnetic Field from Domain Walls

It is pointed out that, contrary to some claims in the literature, the domain walls cannot be a source of a correlated at large scales primordial magnetic field, even if the fermionic modes bound on the wall had ferromagnetic properties. In a particular model with massive (2+1) dimensional fermions bound to a domain wall, previously claimed to exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior, it is explicitly ...

No Primordial Magnetic Field from Domain Walls ”

We comment on the recent preprint hep-ph/0007123 by M.B. Voloshin, claiming that domain walls are diamagnetic. We show that the results presented therein are based on an incorrect treatment of the zero mode contribution to the vacuum energy density. We also shown that the correct treatment leads to the conclusion that domain walls are ferromagnetic, and can generate a primordial magnetic field.

Electric Charge Localized on Magnetic Domain Walls in Weyl Semimetals

Ferroelectric charged domain walls in an applied electric field

The interaction of electric field with charged domain walls in ferroelectrics is theoretically addressed. A general expression for the force acting per unit area of a charged domain wall carrying free charge is derived. It is shown that, in proper ferroelectrics, the free charge carried by the wall is dependent on the size of the adjacent domains. As a result, the mobility of such domain wall (...

On the Primordial Magnetic Field from Domain Walls

In this paper we discuss once more the zero mode contribution to the vacuum energy density. We show that a careful treatment of the zero modes leads to the conclusion that domain walls may be ferromagnetic, and could generate a magnetic field of cosmological interest.
