Pyramidal charged domain walls in ferroelectric BiFeO3

Abstract Domain structures play a crucial role in the electric, mechanical, and other properties of ferroelectric materials. In this study, we uncover the physical origins of the enigmatic zigzag domain structure in the prototypical multiferroic material BiFeO3. Using phase-field simulations within...
