A reorientation of the ferroelectric domains under an action of ultrasound in LiNbO3 is observed for the first time. The involvement of the ferroelectric domain boundaries is experimentally identified by the analysis of X-ray reflection and…
We present a spatial and wave-vector resolved study of the electronic structure of micron sized ferroelectric domains at the surface of a BaTiO3(001) single crystal. The n-type doping of the BaTiO3 is controlled by in-situ vacuum and oxygen…
The magneto-optical technique has been employed to observe spontaneous ferromagnetic domain structures in La0.78Ca0.22MnO3 single crystals. The magnetic domain topology was found to be correlated with the intrinsic twin structure of the…
The development of ferromagnetism in Mn-doped Bi2Te3 is characterized through measurements on a series of single crystals with different Mn content. Scanning tunneling microscopy analysis shows that the Mn substitutes on the Bi sites,…
Ferroelectric $\mathrm{HfO}_2$ has attracted extensive research interest for its applications in AI era. The domain walls play a crucial role in phase structure stabilization and polarization switching of ferroelectric $\mathrm{HfO}_2$,…
Conductive domain walls (CDWs) in insulating ferroelectrics have recently attracted considerable attention due to their unique topological, optical, and electronic properties, and offer potential applications such as in memory devices or…
To minimize their electrostatic energy, insulating ferroelectric films tend to break up into nanoscale ``Kittel'' domains of opposite polarization that are separated by uncharged 180$^\circ$ domain walls. Here, I report on self-consistent…
Ferroelectric domain structure evolution induced by an external electric field was investigated by means of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) method in two strontium-barium niobate single crystals of nominal composition:…

Conductive ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) represent a promising topical system for the development of nanoelectronic components and devices. DWs show very different properties as compared to their bulk counterparts. Of central interest…
Structural and Optical properties of the (Na0.5 K0.5)y Li 1-y NbO3 (y = 0.934 & 0.936) ceramics have been explored in terms of the X-Ray diffraction patters, Rietveld analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Kubelka-Munk functions. Rietveld…
Combining experiments with first principles calculations, we show that site-specific doping of Mn into SrTiO3 has a decisive influence on the dielectric properties of these doped systems. We find that phonon contributions to the dielectric…
TEM specimens from potassium niobate single crystals were observed while being heated in a TEM. DWs and dislocations were observed; the DWs were mobile. In certain cases the DWs became pinned by the dislocations, at least for a short time,…
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 domain wall energy from…
Temperature evolution of dielectric response, atomic structure, and lattice dynamics in thin film of sodium niobate in the epitaxial NaNbO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$/(001)MgO heterostructure is studied by dielectric measurements, x-ray diffraction, and…
We use shear-mode Raman imaging to track ferroelectric switching in multilayer 3$R$-MoS$_2$. Within a single flake, mechanically segmented regions respond independently and follow distinct pathways. Partially polarized end states indicate…
Despite multiple efforts, there exist many unsolved fundamental problems related with detection and analysis of internal polarization structure and related phase transitions in ferroelectric domain walls. Their solution can be very…
We investigated the influence of doping antiferromagnetic MnN in polycrystalline MnN/CoFe exchange bias systems, showing high exchange bias of up to 1800 Oe at room temperature. The thermal stability of those systems is limited by nitrogen…
A single crystal of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), composition Pb(Zr0.80Ti0.20)O3, was studied by polarized-Raman scattering as a function of temperature. Raman spectra reveal that the local structure deviates from the average structure in…
