• Dimensionality-induced change in topological order in multiferroic oxide superlattices 

      Holtz, Megan, E.; Padgett, Elliot S.; Steinhardt, Rachel; Brooks, Charles M.; Meier, Dennis Gerhard; Schlom, Darrell G.; Muller, David A.; Mundy, Julia A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We construct ferroelectric ðLuFeO3Þm=ðLuFe2O4Þ superlattices with varying index m to study the effect of confinement on topological defects. We observe a thickness-dependent transition from neutral to charged domain walls ...
    • Electrical half-wave rectification at ferroelectric domain walls 

      Schaab, Jakob; Skjærvø, Sandra Helen; Krohns, Stephan; Dai, Xiaoyu; Holtz, Megan, E.; Cano, Andrés; Lilienblum, Martin; Yan, Zewu; Bourret, Edith; Muller, David A.; Fiebig, Manfred; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Meier, Dennis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Domain walls in ferroelectric semiconductors show promise as multifunctional two-dimensional elements for next-generation nanotechnology. Electric fields, for example, can control the direct-current resistance and reversibly ...
    • Functional electronic inversion layers at ferroelectric domain walls 

      Mundy, Julia; Schaab, Jakob; Kumagai, Yu; Cano, Andres; Stengel, Massimiliano; Krug, Ingo P.; Gottlob, Daniel G.; Doganay, Hattice; Holtz, Megan, E.; Held, Rainer; Yan, Zewu; Bourret, Edith; Schneider, Claus M.; Schlom, Darrel G.; Muller, David A.; Ramesh, Ramamoorthy; Spaldin, Nicola A.; Meier, Dennis Gerhard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Ferroelectric domain walls hold great promise as functional two-dimensional materials because of their unusual electronic properties. Particularly intriguing are the so-called charged walls where a polarity mismatch causes ...
    • Measuring ferroelectric order parameters at domain walls and vortices in hexagonal manganites with atomic resolution STEM 

      Holtz, Megan, E.; Shapovalov, Konstantin; Mundy, Julia; Chang, C. S.; Meier, Dennis; Cano, Andrés; Muller, David A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    • Topological defects in hexagonal manganites - Inner structure and emergent electrostatics 

      Holtz, Megan, E.; Shapovalov, Konstantin; Mundy, Julia; Chang, C. S.; Yan, Zewu; Bourret, Edith; Muller, David A.; Meier, Dennis; Cano, Andrés (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Diverse topological defects arise in hexagonal manganites, such as ferroelectric vortices, as well as neutral and charged domain walls. The topological defects are intriguing because their low symmetry enables unusual ...
