Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …
Large elastic nonlinearities can lead to elastic hysteresis behavior, which defines ferroelasticity in analogy to its sister ferroics: ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity …

Abstract Domains and domain walls are a fundamental property of interest in ferroelectrics, magnetism, ferroelastics, superconductors, and multiferroic materials. Unlike magnetic Bloch …
Oxygen octahedral tilts underpin the functionality of a large number of perovskite-based materials and heterostructures with competing order parameters. We show how a precise …
Electro-mechanical interactions between charged point defects and domain walls play a key role in the functional properties of bulk and thin-film ferroelectrics. While for perovskites the …

We review the idea that domain boundaries, rather than domains, can carry information and act as memory devices. Domains are bulk objects; their large response to changing external …

The polar nature of twin boundaries (TBs) of inherently nonpolar ferroelastic CaTiO 3 is examined by the confocal second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope. Three …
