Ferroelectric charged domain walls are known for their high electrical conductivity, making them promising candidates for applications in modern electronics. A remarkably high conductivity and nominal charge density has been found in the…

Charged polar interfaces such as charged ferroelectric domain walls or heterostructured interfaces of ZnO/(Zn,Mg)O and LaAlO3/SrTiO3, across which the normal component of electric polarization changes suddenly, can host large…

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…

SrTiO$_3$ is a superconducting semiconductor with a pairing mechanism that is not well understood. SrTiO$_3$ undergoes a ferroelastic transition at $T=$ 105 K, leading to the formation of domains with boundaries that can couple to…

It is known that ferroelectric single crystals can be turned from a polydomain to a monodomain state by the application of an electric field. Here we report an unexpected opposite effect: the formation of through-the-crystal polydomain…

We study the influence of oxygen vacancies on the formation of charged 180$^\circ$ domain walls in ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$ using first principles calculations. We show that it is favorable for vacancies to assemble in crystallographic…

Charged domain walls and boundaries in ferroelectric materials display distinct phenomena, such as an increased conductivity due to the accumulation of bound charges. Here, we report the electron microscopy observations of atomic-scale…

While electrical compatibility constraints normally prevent head-to-head (HH) and tail-to-tail (TT) domain walls from forming in ferroelectric materials, we propose that such domain walls could be stabilized by intentional growth of atomic…

We report a theoretical investigation of a charged 180$^\circ$ domain wall in ferroelectric PbTiO$_3$, compensated by randomly distributed immobile charge defects. For this we utilize atomistic shell-model simulations and continuous…

We present a first-principles study of model domain walls (DWs) in prototypic ferroelectric PbTiO3. At high temperature the DW structure is somewhat trivial, with atoms occupying high- symmetry positions. However, upon cooling the DW…

Domain walls in ferroelectric oxides provide fertile ground for the development of next-generation nanotechnology. Examples include domain-wall-based memory, memristors, and diodes, where the unusual electronic properties and the quasi-2D…

Natural interfaces in ferroic oxides have developed into versatile playgrounds for studying electronic correlation effects in 2D systems. The microscopic origin of the emergent local electronic properties is often debated, however, as…

Domain wall morphologies in ferroelectrics are believed to be largely shaped by electrostatic forces. Here, we show that for conducting domain walls, the morphology also depends on the details of the charge-carrier band structure. For…

Ferroelectrics usually adopt a multi-domain state with domain walls separating domains with polarization axes oriented differently. It has long been recognized that domain walls can dramatically impact the properties of ferroelectric…
