Tunable conductive domain wall switches in 200-µm-thick lithium niobate single crystals — •Henrik Beccard, Benjamin Kirbus, Ekta Singh, Zeeshan Amber, Michael Rüsing, Elke Beyreuther, and Lukas M.

In the ferroelectric model material lithium niobate (LNO), state-of-the-art techniques allow the targeted poling of ferroelectric domains, as well as the robust enhancement of domain wall (DW) conductivity over several orders of magnitude [1]. Imaging and analyzing these properties can be elegantly performed with piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and confocal 3D second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy [2]. The correlation between DW geometry and electrical DW conductivity is well established both theoretically and experimentally. Moreover, it can be adequately simulated e.g. using a resistor network model [3].

Therefore, an increasing focus in the ferroelectrics community is set on the realization of DW-based nanoelectronic devices. Recently, tunable DW switches have been reported for LNO thin films [4]. On the contrary, we report on tunable DW switches inside of 200-µm-thick LNO single crystals, relying purely on solid electrodes [5].
