摘要:

铁电畴壁是一种准二维体系,在非易失性存储器、忆阻器技术和超小特征尺寸电子元件的发展中显示出巨大的前景。例如,电场可以改变相对于自发极化的畴壁取向,并在电阻状态和导电状态之间切换,从而控制电流。然而,嵌入在3D材料中,畴壁并不是完全平坦的,可以形成网络,这导致复杂的物理结构。我们证明了纳米结构的重要性,紧急运输性能,研究电子传导的三维网络中的中性和带电的域壁ErMnO $_3$。通过结合层析显微镜技术和有限元建模,我们澄清的贡献畴壁内的散装和显示的意义曲率效应的局部传导到纳米尺度。研究结果提供了深入了解的电流在畴壁网络中的传播,揭示了额外的自由度,为他们的控制,并提供了定量的指导方针畴壁为基础的技术的设计。

英文摘要:

Ferroelectric domain walls are quasi-2D systems that show great promise for the development of non-volatile memory, memristor technology and electronic components with ultra-small feature size. Electric fields, for example, can change the domain wall orientation relative to the spontaneous polarization and switch between resistive and conductive states, controlling the electrical current. Being embedded in a 3D material, however, the domain walls are not perfectly flat and can form networks, which leads to complex physical structures. We demonstrate the importance of the nanoscale structure for the emergent transport properties, studying electronic conduction in the 3D network of neutral and charged domain walls in ErMnO$_3$. By combining tomographic microscopy techniques and finite element modelling, we clarify the contribution of domain walls within the bulk and show the significance of curvature effects for the local conduction down to the nanoscale. The findings provide insights into the propagation of electrical currents in domain wall networks, reveal additional degrees of freedom for their control, and provide quantitative guidelines for the design of domain wall based technology.
