Flexopiezoelectricity at ferroelastic domain walls in WO3 films

Kanghyun Chu

The emergence of a domain wall property that is forbidden by symmetry in bulk can offer unforeseen opportunities for nanoscale low-dimensional functionalities in ferroic materials. Here, we report that the piezoelectric response is greatly enhanced in the ...

Formation energies of C, Si, and Ge defects in beta-Ga2O3 are studied through hybrid functional calculations. The interstitial defects of these elements generally occur at higher energies than their substitutional counterparts, but are more stable at low F ...

WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2019

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 ...

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 ...

Role of charged defects on the electrical and electromechanical properties of rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 with oxygen octahedra tilts

Dragan Damjanovic

Oxygen octahedra tilting is a common structural phenomenon in perovskites and has been subject of intensive studies, particularly in rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT). Early reports suggest that the tilted octahedra may strongly affect the domain switching be ...

An essential feature of ferroelectric thin films is the presence in them of domain structures. In order to efficiently implement ferroelectric films into potential new ferroelectrics-based devices, it is of high interest to understand the behaviour of doma ...

Experimental and first-principles study of point defects, domain walls, and point-defect/domain-wall interactions in ferroelectric oxides

Anand Chandrasekaran

Ferroelectric oxides, such as lead zirconate titanate, have proved invaluable due to their excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties. These classes of materials possess a large electric polarization below the Curie temperature. Regions of the cryst ...
