Charged Domain Wall and Polar Vortex Topologies in a Room-Temperature Magnetoelectric Multiferroic Thin Film
[Image: see text] Multiferroic topologies are an emerging solution for future low-power magnetic nanoelectronics due to their combined tuneable functionality and mobility. Here, we show that in addition to being magnetoelectric multiferroic at room temperature, thin-film Aurivillius phase Bi(6)Ti(x)...

description | [Image: see text] Multiferroic topologies are an emerging solution for future low-power magnetic nanoelectronics due to their combined tuneable functionality and mobility. Here, we show that in addition to being magnetoelectric multiferroic at room temperature, thin-film Aurivillius phase Bi(6)Ti(x)Fe(y)Mn(z)O(18) is an ideal material platform for both domain wall and vortex topology-based nanoelectronic devices. Utilizing atomic-resolution electron microscopy, we reveal the presence and structure of 180°-type charged head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls passing throughout the thin film. Theoretical calculations confirm the subunit cell cation site preference and charged domain wall energetics for Bi(6)Ti(x)Fe(y)Mn(z)O(18). Finally, we show that polar vortex-type topologies also form at out-of-phase boundaries of stacking faults when internal strain and electrostatic energy gradients are altered. This study could pave the way for controlled polar vortex topology formation via strain engineering in other multiferroic thin films. Moreover, these results confirm that the subunit cell topological features play an important role in controlling the charge and spin state of Aurivillius phase films and other multiferroic heterostructures. |
