Ferroelectric materials have remained one of the major focal points of condensed matter
physics and materials science for over 50 years. In the last 20 years, the development of …

Ferroelectric crystals feature asymmetric or polar structures that are switchable under an
external electric field, holding promise for information storage. Nanoscale ferroelectrics …

Nanoscale ferroelectrics are expected to exhibit various exotic domain configurations, such
as the full flux-closure pattern that is well known in ferromagnetic materials. Here we …

Low-dimensional ferroelectric structures are a promising basis for the next generation of
ultrahigh-density nonvolatile memory devices. Depolarization fields, created by incompletely …

Topological defects in ferroic materials are attracting much attention both as a playground of

Abstract Over 60 years ago, Charles Kittel predicted that quadrant domains should
spontaneously form in small ferromagnetic platelets. He expected that the direction of …

Nanometer‐scale electronic transport in engineered interfaces in ferroelectrics, such as
domains and topological defects, has emerged as a topic of broad interest due to potential …

With shrinking device sizes, controlling domain formation in nanoferroelectrics becomes
crucial. Periodic nanodomains that self-organize into so-called 'superdomains' have been …
