摘要:

铁电氧化物中的自然界面已成为研究二维系统中电子相关效应的多功能场所。然而,由于定量原子尺度表征仍然具有挑战性,局部电子性质的微观起源常常存在争议。一个典型例子是铁电域壁处的增强导电性,其归因于从局部带隙减小到点缺陷积累等多种机制。在这里,我们通过结合输运测量与原子探针显微术,定量表征局部化学组成并将其与电性能相关联,以解析铁电模型系统BiFeO3中的域壁导电机制。在域壁上观察到显著的化学变化,表明域壁具有出色的化学灵活性,这种灵活性表现为空间变化的物理性质。结果为观察到的多样的电子行为提供了统一的解释,并确立了基本观念:多种导电机制可以在单个域壁内共存。

英文摘要:

Natural interfaces in ferroic oxides have developed into versatile playgrounds for studying electronic correlation effects in 2D systems. The microscopic origin of the emergent local electronic properties is often debated, however, as quantitative atomic-scale characterization remains challenging. A prime example is enhanced conductivity at ferroelectric domain walls, attributed to mechanisms ranging from local band gap reduction to point defect accumulations. Here, we resolve the microscopic mechanisms for domain wall conduction in the ferroelectric model system BiFeO3, by combining transport measurements with atom probe tomography to quantify the local chemical composition and correlate it with the electrical properties. Significant chemical variations along the walls are observed, demonstrating an outstanding chemical flexibility at domain walls, which manifest in spatially varying physical properties. The results give a unifying explanation for the diverse electronic behavior observed and establish the fundamental notion that multiple conduction mechanisms can coexist within individual domain walls.
