Ferroelectric translational antiphase boundaries in nonpolar materials

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov, Xiankui Wei

Ferroelectric materials are heavily used in electro-mechanics and electronics. Inside the ferroelectric, domain walls separate regions in which the spontaneous polarization is differently oriented. Properties of ferroelectric domain walls can differ from t ...

Ferroelectrics are materials with a spontaneous electrical polarization, which can be switched by an applied electric field between two or more stable orientations permitted by symmetry. The regions where the ferroelectric material is polarized in one dire ...

The properties of ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are heavily influenced by the interaction of defects with domain walls. These defects are either intrinsic or are induced by the addition of dopants. We study here PbTiO3 (th ...

This thesis consists of a theoretical analysis of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics based on Landau theory and the theory of semiconductors. First, the internal structure of a 180-degree charged domain wall is considered. It is shown that different re ...

Magnetic domain wall propagation under ferroelectric control

Nava Setter, Igor Stolichnov, Harry Joseph Trodahl, Sebastian Riester, Evgeny Mikheev

Control of magnetic domain walls (DWs) and their propagation is among the most promising development directions for future information-storage devices. The well-established tools for such manipulation are the spin-torque transfer from electrical currents a ...

Coupling of Magnetic and Ferroelectric Hysteresis by a Multicomponent Magnetic Structure in Mn_{2}GeO_{4}

Jonathan White

The olivine compound Mn2GeO4 is shown to feature both a ferroelectric polarization and a ferromagnetic magnetization that are directly coupled and point along the same direction. We show that a spin spiral generates ferroelectricity, and a canted commensur ...

We review the details of domain wall (DW) propagation due to spin-polarized currents that could potentially be used in magnetic data storage devices based on domains and DWs. We discuss briefly the basics of the underlying spin torque effect and show how t ...
