Polar domain walls trigger magnetoelectric coupling
Interface physics in oxides heterostructures is pivotal in material's science. Domain walls (DWs) in ferroic systems are examples of naturally occurring interfaces, where order parameter of neighboring domains is modified and emerging properties may develop. Here we show that electric tuning of ferroelastic domain walls in SrTiO3 leads to dramatic changes of the magnetic domain structure of a n...
متن کاملFormation of charged ferroelectric domain walls with controlled periodicity
Charged domain walls in proper ferroelectrics were shown recently to possess metallic-like conductivity. Unlike conventional heterointerfaces, these walls can be displaced inside a dielectric by an electric field, which is of interest for future electronic circuitry. In addition, theory predicts that charged domain walls may influence the electromechanical response of ferroelectrics, with stron...
متن کاملMicrowave a.c. conductivity of domain walls in ferroelectric thin films
Ferroelectric domain walls are of great interest as elementary building blocks for future electronic devices due to their intrinsic few-nanometre width, multifunctional properties and field-controlled topology. To realize the electronic functions, domain walls are required to be electrically conducting and addressable non-destructively. However, these properties have been elusive because conduc...
متن کاملExploration of the intrinsic inertial response of ferroelectric domain walls via molecular dynamics simulations
The motion of ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) is critical for various applications of ferroelectric materials. One important question that is of interest both scientifically and technologically, is whether the ferroelectric DW has significant inertial response. To address this problem, we performed canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulations of 180 and 90 DWs under applied electric field...
متن کاملEfficient photovoltaic current generation at ferroelectric domain walls.
We elucidate the mechanism of a newly observed photovoltaic effect which occurs in ferroelectrics with periodic domain structures. Under sufficiently strong illumination, domain walls function as nanoscale generators of the photovoltaic current. The steps in the electrostatic potential function to accumulate electrons and holes on opposite sides of the walls while locally reducing the concentra...
