چکیده
Ferroelectric domain walls exhibit a range of interesting electrical properties and are now widely recognized as functional 2D systems for the development next-generation nanoelectronics. A major achievement in field is fundamental framework that explains emergence enhanced electronic direct-current conduction at walls. Here, much less explored behavior ferroelectric under applied alternating-current (AC) voltages discussed. An overview recent advances nanoscale characterization provided allows resolving dynamic responses individual to AC fields. In addition, different examples presented, showing unusual arise neutral charged kilo- gigahertz regime. It concluded with discussion about future direction novel application opportunities, expanding domain-wall-based nanoelectronics into realm technologies.

Efficient 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...
متن کاملEnhancement of Local Photovoltaic Current at Ferroelectric Domain Walls in BiFeO3
Domain walls, which are intrinsically two dimensional nano-objects exhibiting nontrivial electronic and magnetic behaviours, have been proven to play a crucial role in photovoltaic properties of ferroelectrics. Despite this recognition, the electronic properties of domain walls under illumination until now have been accessible only to macroscopic studies and their effects upon the conduction of...
متن کاملSurface Current-carrying Domain Walls
Domain walls, arising from the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, can be coupled to charge carriers. In much the same way as the Witten model for superconducting cosmic string, an investigation is made here in the case of U(1) × Z2 → U(1), where a bosonic charge carrier is directly coupled to the wall-forming Higgs field. All internal quantities, such as the energy per unit surface an...
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 کاملFerroelectric 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 (...
