Conduction at Domain Walls in Insulating Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 Thin Films
TLDR
The domain wall conduction, nonlinear and highly asymmetric due to the specific local probe measurement geometry, shows thermal activation at high temperatures, and high stability over time.Abstract:
Domain wall conduction in insulating Pb(Zr(0.2) Ti(0.8))O(3) thin films is demonstrated. The observed electrical conduction currents can be clearly differentiated from displacement currents associated with ferroelectric polarization switching. The domain wall conduction, nonlinear and highly asymmetric due to the specific local probe measurement geometry, shows thermal activation at high temperatures, and high stability over time.read more

Free-electron gas at charged domain walls in insulating BaTiO 3
TL;DR: This work shows the existence of 'strongly' charged domain walls that break polarization continuity, but are stable and conduct steadily through a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas in the prototypical ferroelectric BaTiO3, thus adding mobility to functional interfaces.

TL;DR: The observation of room-temperature electronic conductivity at ferroelectric domain walls in the insulating multiferroic BiFeO(3) shows that the conductivity correlates with structurally driven changes in both the electrostatic potential and the local electronic structure, which shows a decrease in the bandgap at the domain wall.
