Domain nucleation behavior in ferroelectric films with thin and ultrathin top electrodes versus insulating top layers

Nava Setter, Ludwig Feigl

The effect of varying the thickness of Pt top electrodes made by the electron beam induced deposition technique on the domain nucleation characteristics of Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 films has been investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy. The advantage of this ex ...

Controlled Charging of Ferroelastic Domain Walls in Oxide Ferroelectrics

Tomas Sluka, Li Jin, Ludwig Feigl, Barbara Maraston Fraygola, Xiankui Wei

Conductive domain walls (DWs) in ferroic oxides as device elements are a highly attractive research topic because of their robust and agile response to electric field. Charged DWs possessing metallic-type conductivity hold the highest promises in this aspe ...

Nanoscale Defect Engineering and the Resulting Effects on Domain Wall Dynamics in Ferroelectric Thin Films

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Ludwig Feigl

Defect engineering is one of the cornerstones of the modern electronics industry. Almost all electronic devices include materials that have been doped by ion bombardment. For materials where crystallinity is essential, such as ferroelectrics, defect type a ...

Velocity Control of 180 degrees Domain Walls in Ferroelectric Thin Films by Electrode Modification

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Tomas Sluka, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl

The velocity of individual 1800 domain walls in thin ferroelectric films of PbZr0.1Ti0.9O3 is strongly dependent on the thickness of the top Pt electrode made by electron-beam induced deposition (EBID). We show that when the thickness is varied in the rang ...

Controlled creation and displacement of charged domain walls in ferroelectric thin films

Nava Setter, Tomas Sluka, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Ludwig Feigl, Arnaud Robert André Crassous

Charged domain walls in ferroelectric materials are of high interest due to their potential use in nanoelectronic devices. While previous approaches have utilized complex scanning probe techniques or frustrative poling here we show the creation of charged ...

Asymmetric structure of 90 deg. domain walls and interactions with defects in PbTiO3

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Nicola Marzari, Ludwig Feigl, Anand Chandrasekaran, Xiankui Wei

We investigate the atomistic structure of ferroelastic-ferroelectric 90 degrees domain walls in PbTiO3 with first-principles calculations and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. We find sharp discontinuities in the variation of latti ...

Post-deposition control of ferroelastic stripe domains and internal electric field by thermal treatment

Nava Setter, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Ludwig Feigl, Monika Iwanowska

The dependence of the formation of ferroelastic stripe domain patterns on the thermal history is investigated by detailed piezoresponse force microscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments after and during annealing of tensile strained tetragonal Pb(Ti,Zr)O- ...

Polarization Switching and Domain Wall Motion in Circular and Ring Capacitor Structures in PZT Thin Films

Nava Setter, Ludwig Feigl

Ferroelectric switching in circular and ring capacitors has been performed using a stroboscopic mode of piezoresponse force microscopy. A simple geometric model incorporating the characteristic domain wall motion is sufficient to describe the switching of ...

Controlling domain wall motion in ferroelectric thin films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl

Domain walls in ferroic materials have attracted significant interest in recent years, in particular because of the unique properties that can be found in their vicinity(1-3). However, to fully harness their potential as nanoscale functional entities(4,5), ...
