Domain boundaries in ferroic materials are found to have various physical properties not presenting in the surrounding domains. Such differences can be enhanced and bring promising functionalities when centrosymmetric non-polar materials encounter polar domain boundaries. Here, a tunable polar domain boundary is discovered in an antiferroelectric single crystal. Under a small stress or electric field, the density, volume, and polarity of the boundaries are successfully controlled. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
