Kedves Kollégák!

Szeretném meghívni önöket a BME Fizika Tanszékének szemináriumára, 
melyet 2018. június 6-án 9:30-tól tartunk a BME F épület I. lépcsőház I. 
emelet Schay termében.

Electric-field poling of improper ferroelectrics - step towards domain 
wall based nanoelectronics?

Manipulating domains within ferroelectric semiconductors has attracted 
attention in recent years for potentially allowing domains and domain 
walls to be used as functional elements in nanoelectronics. One type of 
multiferroic material, hexagonal manganites, has shown particular 
potential because of their unusual, improper ferroelectric properties. 
We report an electric-field poling study of the geometric-driven 
improper ferroelectric h-ErMnO3. From a detailed dielectric analysis, we 
deduce the temperature- and frequency-dependent range for which 
single-crystalline h-ErMnO3 exhibits purely intrinsic dielectric 
behavior. This provides a comprehensive experimental study addressing 
the switching dynamics in hexagonal manganites. Controlling the domain 
walls via electric fields brings us an important step closer to their 
utilization in resource-efficient domain-wall-based electronics.
