We present a new mechanism for spin-wave excitation using a pinned domain wall which is forced to oscillate at its eigenfrequency and radiates spin waves. The domain wall acts as a frequency doubler, as the excited spin waves have twice the…

The conductance of domain wall structures consisting of either stripes or cylindrical domains in multi-axial ferroelectric-semiconductors is analyzed. The effects of the domain size, wall tilt and curvature, on charge accumulation, are…
