Sequential injection of domain walls into ferroelectrics at different bias voltages: Paving the way for “domain wall memristors”

Journal Article Whyte, J. R. ; McQuaid, R. G. P. ; Einsle, J. F. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Simple meso-scale capacitor structures have been made by incorporating thin (∼300 nm) single crystal lamellae of KTiOPO{sub 4} (KTP) between two coplanar Pt electrodes. The influence that either patterned protrusions in the electrodes or focused ion beam milled holes in the KTP have on the nucleation of reverse domains during switching was mapped using piezoresponse force microscopy imaging. The objective was to assess whether or not variations in the magnitude of field enhancement at localised “hot-spots,” caused by such patterning, could be used to both control the exact locations and bias voltages at which nucleation events occurred. It was found thatmore »« less

Intrinsic structural instabilities of domain walls driven by gradient coupling: Meandering antiferrodistortive-ferroelectric domain walls in BiFeO₃

Journal Article Eliseev, E. A. ; Morozovska, A. N. ; Nelson, Christopher T. ; ... - Physical Review B

Using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach, we predict the intrinsic instability of the ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain walls in the multiferroic BiFeO₃ emerging from the interplay between the gradient terms of the antiferrodistortive and ferroelectric order parameters at the walls. These instabilities are the interface analog of the structural instabilities in the vicinity of phase coexistence in the bulk, and so they do not stem from incomplete polarization screening in thin films or its spatial confinement, electrostrictive or flexoelectric coupling. The effect of BiFeO₃ material parameters on the 71°, 109°, and 180° walls is explored, and it is shown that the meandering instability appearsmore »« less

Asymmetric Character of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition and Charged Domain Walls in a Hybrid Improper Ferroelectric

Journal Article Weber, Mads C. ; Zemp, Yannik ; Trassin, Morgan ; ... - Advanced Electronic Materials

Abstract In improper ferroelectrics, the spontaneous ordering is typically driven by a structural distortion or a magnetic spin alignment. The induced electric polarization is only a secondary effect. This dependence is a rich source for unusual phenomena and ferroelectric domain configurations for proper, polarization‐driven ferroelectrics. This study focuses on the polar domain structure and the hysteretic behavior at the ferroelectric phase transition in Ca ₃ Mn _1.9 Ti _0.1 O ₇ as a representative of the recently discovered hybrid improper ferroelectric class of multiferroics. Combining optical second harmonic generation and Raman spectroscopy gives access to the spontaneous structural distortion andmore »« less

Scanning secondary-electron microscopy on ferroelectric domains and domain walls in YMnO{sub 3}

Journal Article Li, J ; Yang, H X ; Tian, H F ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Ferroelectric domain structures in YMnO{sub 3} single crystals on the hexagonal polar surface have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy in secondary electron emission mode. The experimental results demonstrate that the domain, as well as domain walls, can be clearly revealed under the operation voltages ranging from 0.6 to 3 kV. Evolution of domain contrasts arising from electron-beam irradiation can be mainly explained by the pyroelectric effect and related charging process. A rich variety of microstructure features of ferroelectric domains can be clearly revealed in YMnO{sub 3} by this high-resolution technique.

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY STUDY OF THE FERROELECTRIC DOMAINS AND DOMAIN WALL STRUCTURE IN Pb.52Ti.48O3

Journal Article Goo, E K.W. ; Mishra, R K ; Thomas, G - Journal of Applied Physics

The crystallography of the domains and domain walls in PZT are studied using electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Both 90{sup o} and 180{sup o} domains are observed and the 90{sup o} domains are shown to be deformation twins with displacement along <110> on {l_brace}110{r_brace}. The thickness of the 90{sup o} domain wall is determined to be {approx}< 100 {angstrom}. Leadon Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is a ferroelectric material at room temperature and it is used extensively in piezoelectric devices. Above its Curie temperature (375 C), PZT is a cubic solid solution of lead titanate and lead zirconate. It undergoes amore »« less
