Mechanical Softness of Ferroelectric 180° Domain Walls

Mechanical Softness of Ferroelectric 180° Domain Walls

Using scanning probe microscopy, we measure the out-of-plane mechanical response of ferroelectric 180° domain walls and observe that, despite separating domains that are mechanically identical, the walls appear mechanically distinct—softer—compared to the domains. This effect is observed in differen...
