Scanning Probe Studies of Structural and Functional Properties of Ferroelectric Domains and Domain Walls

by Philippe Tückmantel

Book Overview

This thesis explores the fascinating properties of domain walls in ferroelectric materials. Domain walls can be used as model systems to study fundamental aspects of interface physics, such as crackling noise, with implications extending to a broad variety of systems, from material fracture and earthquakes to solar flares and collective decision making. Ferroelectric domain walls also show functional properties absent from the domains themselves,...
