Genuinely Ferroelectric Sub-1-Volt-Switchable Nanodomains in HfxZr(1-x)O2 Ultrathin Capacitors

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla, Matteo Cavalieri

The new class of fully silicon-compatible hafnia-based ferroelectrics with high switchable polarization and good endurance and thickness scalability shows a strong promise for new generations of logic and memory devices. Among other factors, their competit ...

Phase control of spin waves based on a magnetic defect in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe

Magnonic crystals are interesting for spin-wave based data processing. We investigate one-dimensional magnonic crystals (1D MCs) consisting of bistable Co20Fe60B20 nanostripes separated by 75 nm wide air gaps. By adjusting the magnetic history, we program ...

Domain-wall conduction in ferroelectric BiFeO3 controlled by accumulation of charged defects

Dragan Damjanovic

Mobile charged defects, accumulated in the domain-wall region to screen polarization charges, have been proposed as the origin of the electrical conductivity at domain walls in ferroelectric materials. Despite theoretical and experimental efforts, this sce ...

Dynamics of ferroelectric 180 degrees domain walls at engineered pinning centers

Nava Setter

The interaction between domain walls and pinning centers in ferroelectrics is of great interest from both fundamental and practical points of view. In this work, we show that, counter to intuition, the apparent velocity of domain walls can increase as the ...

Identification of microscopic domain wall motion from temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric response

Tomas Sluka, Pavel Mokry

It is known that the permittivity of ferroelectric polydomain films and single crystals in weak electric fields is strongly enhanced by the reversible movement of pinned domain walls. Two mechanisms of the movement exist: first, the bending of free segment ...

Dynamical Defects in Rotating Magnetic Skyrmion Lattices

Helmuth Berger

The chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 hosts a Skyrmion lattice that may be equivalently described as a superposition of plane waves or a lattice of particlelike topological objects. A thermal gradient may break up the Skyrmion lattice and induce rotating domains, rai ...

Domain walls and defects in ferroelectric materials

Dragan Damjanovic

The results of recent studies of domain walls and their interaction with defects in BaTiO3, Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3, and BiFeO3 are discussed. The studies reveal why donor- and acceptor-doped Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 behave differently, what is the role of stationary charged d ...

We report x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements as well as multiplet calculations for Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm atoms adsorbed on Pt(111), Cu(111), Ag(100), and Ag(111). In the gas phase, all four elements are divalent a ...

Piezoelectric softening by Nb substitution in (Ba,Pb)ZrO

Nava Setter, Nicola Marzari, Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli, David Bahati

Donor doping is commonly applied for softening of the piezoelectric and dielectric properties and facilitation of polarization switching in the ubiquitous Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 [PZT] ceramics. The origin of the donor-dopant effects is not entirely clear. (Pb,Ba)ZrO ...

Ferroelectric domain continuity over grain boundaries

Dragan Damjanovic, Sukriti Mantri

Formation and mobility of domain walls in ferroelectric materials is responsible for many of their electrical and mechanical properties. Domain wall continuity across grain boundaries has been observed since the 1950's and is speculated to affect the grain ...
