AbstractAtomically sharp domain walls in ferroelectrics are considered as an ideal platform to realize easy-to-reconfigure nanoelectronic building blocks, created, manipulated and erased by external fields. However, conductive domain walls have been exclusively observed in oxides, where domain wall mobility and conductivity is largely influenced by stoichiometry and defects. Here, we report on giant conductivity of domain walls in the non-oxide ferroelectric GaV4S8. We observe conductive domain walls forming in zig-zagging structures, that are composed of head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain wall segments alternating on the nanoscale. Remarkably, both types of segments possess high conductivity, unimaginable in oxide ferroelectrics. These effectively 2D domain walls, dominating the 3D conductance, can be mobilized by magnetic fields, triggering abrupt conductance changes as large as eight orders of magnitude. These unique properties demonstrate that non-oxide ferroelectrics can be the source of novel phenomena beyond the realm of oxide electronics.

AbstractA long piece of magnetic material shaped as a central cylindrical wire (diameter $$d=50$$ d = 50 nm) with two wider coaxial cylindrical portions (diameter $$D=90$$ D = 90 nm and thickness $$t=100$$ t = 100 nm) defines a bimodulated nanowire. Micromagnetism is invoked to study the equilibrium energy of the system under the variations of the positions of the modulations along the wire. The system can be thought of as composed of five independent elements (3 segments and 2 modulations) leading to $$2^5=32$$ 2 5 = 32 possible different magnetic configurations, which will be later simplified to 4. We investigate the stability of the configurations depending on the positions of the modulations. The relative chirality of the modulations has negligible contributions to the energy and they have no effect on the stability of the stored configuration. However, the modulations are extremely important in pinning the domain walls that lead to consider each segment as independent from the rest. A phase diagram reporting the stability of the inscribed magnetic configurations is produced. The stability of the system was then tested under the action of external magnetic fields and it was found that more than 50 mT are necessary to alter the inscribed information. The main purpose of this paper is to find whether a prototype like this can be complemented to be used as a magnetic key or to store information in the form of firmware. Present results indicate that both possibilities are feasible.

The existence of nontrivial Berry phases associated with two inequivalent valleys in graphene provides interesting opportunities for investigating the valley-projected topological states. Examples of such studies include observation of anomalous quantum Hall effect in monolayer graphene, demonstration of topological zero modes in “molecular graphene” assembled by scanning tunneling microscopy, and detection of topological valley transport either in graphene superlattices or at bilayer graphene domain walls. However, all aforementioned experiments involved nonscalable approaches of either mechanically exfoliated flakes or atom-by-atom constructions. Here, we report an approach to manipulating the topological states in monolayer graphene via nanoscale strain engineering at room temperature. By placing strain-free monolayer graphene on architected nanostructures to induce global inversion symmetry breaking, we demonstrate the development of giant pseudo-magnetic fields (up to ~800 T), valley polarization, and periodic one-dimensional topological channels for protected propagation of chiral modes in strained graphene, thus paving a pathway toward scalable graphene-based valleytronics.

The Magnetic Field

Current-induced domain wall motion (CIDWM) in perpendicularly magnetized materials exhibits large potential in spintronic device applications. The Dzyaloshinskii domain walls (DWs) are nucleated in ultrathin ferromagnetic/heavy-metal bilayers with high perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (PMA) in the presence of interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI). Here, we investigate the effect of magnetic fields on Dzyaloshinskii DWs driven by spin Hall effect (SHE) by means of micromagnetic simulations. We find that magnetic fields can modify the dynamics of Dzyaloshinskii DW. When applying out-of-plane magnetic fields, the velocity of Dzyaloshinskii DWs increases when the field-driven and current-driven DW motion are in same direction, while it decreases with opposite direction. In the case of in-plane longitudinal magnetic fields, Dzyaloshinskii DW velocity increases when the direction of the magnetic field and Dzyaloshinskii DW propagation direction are same, and it decreases when applying opposite in-plane magnetic fields. These manifestations may offer a new method for manipulating Dzyaloshinskii DWs and promise applications in DW-based nanodevices.
