Multiferroic materials with coexisting magnetic and ferroelectric orders hold promise for the manipulation of magnetism by applied electric fields. These effects were demonstrated [1] to be controlled by the dynamics of strongly interacting domain walls of different types. We report on modeling the electric field - driven dynamics of ferroelectric domain walls in hexagonal manganites, where ferroelectric polarization is produced due to condensation of a trimerization mode [2]. The dynamics is studied using a tight-binding model with parameters derived from first-principles calculations.
