Two-dimensional electronic conductivity in insulating ferroelectrics: Peculiar properties of domain walls

Ferroelectrics such as LiNbO_{3} (LN) are wide-band-gap insulators that may show a high local electric conductivity at the domain walls (DWs). The latter are interfaces separating regions of noncollinear polarization, which can be manipulated to build integrated nanoelectronic elements. In the prese...
