Domain wall geometry controls conduction in ferroelectrics.
A new paradigm of domain wall nanoelectronics has emerged recently, in which the domain wall in a ferroic is itself an active device element. The ability to spatially modulate the ferroic order parameter within a single domain wall allows the physical properties to be tailored at will and hence opens vastly unexplored device possibilities. Here, we demonstrate via ambient and ultrahigh-vacuum (...
متن کاملEffect of lattice orientation, surface modulation, and applied fields on free-surface domain microstructure in ferroelectrics
Ferroelectric perovskites are used in various transducer, memory and optical applications due to their attractive electromechanical and optical properties. In these applications, the ferroelectrics often have complex geometries with a significant portion of the surface free and unshielded by electrodes. The free surfaces play an important role in determining microstructure due to the intricate ...
متن کاملDomain wall characterization in ferroelectrics by using localized nonlinearities.
In this paper, a method of domain wall characterization in ferroelectrics through Cherenkov second harmonic generation by localized nonlinearities is proposed. By this method, domain wall width is estimated to be less than 10nm. High spatial angular resolution of about 10 mrad in the experiment reveals the fine structures of the domain walls. Combined with scanning techniques, this method can r...

متن کاملPhenomenological theory of a single domain wall in uniaxial trigonal ferroelectrics: Lithium niobate and lithium tantalate
A phenomenological treatment of domain walls based on the Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire theory is developed for uniaxial trigonal ferroelectrics, lithium niobate and lithium tantalate. The contributions to the domainwall energy from polarization and strain as a function of orientation are considered. Analytical expressions are developed that are analyzed numerically to determine the minimum polari...
