Abstract

Understanding the conductivity at the nominally uncharged domain walls in ferroelectrics is still far from complete. Here the authors report an enhanced conduction at domain walls in an ultra-thin (001) BiFeO3 film resulting from the formation of a field-induced meta-stable twisted domain nucleus.
