Domain wall nanoelectronics

G Catalan, J Seidel, R Ramesh, JF Scott - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2012 - APS
Domains in ferroelectrics were considered to be well understood by the middle of the last
century: They were generally rectilinear, and their walls were Ising-like. Their simplicity …

[HTML][HTML] Ferroelectric polycrystals: Structural and microstructural levers for property-engineering via domain-wall dynamics

J Schultheiß, G Picht, J Wang, YA Genenko… - Progress In Materials …, 2023 - Elsevier
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 …

Ferroelastic materials

Domain boundary engineering

E Salje, H Zhang - Phase Transitions, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
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 …
