Abstract
Ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) are the subject of intense research at present in the search for high dielectric, gigahertz responsive materials with novel functionalities[1]. Crucial to the integration of DWs into nanoelectronics is a proper understanding of the local electronic landscape around the wall and the influence this has on the behaviour of the DW under variable electric fields. A high degree of mobility under small electric fields is especially desirable for low power applications which escape from the critical current thresholds required to move magnetic domain walls[2]. Perovskite oxides are prime candidates for tuning the thermodynamic variables affecting the energy landscape of DWs and thus controlling their orientation/charge state[3]. Here we present an investigation into the behaviour of ferroelectric DWs under dynamic fields and the specific charge carriers present at DWs.
