Symmetry Breaking and Electrical Frustration during Tip-Induced Polarization Switching in the Nonpolar Cut of Lithium Niobate Single Crystals
Polarization switching in ferroelectric materials is governed by a delicate interplay between bulk polarization dynamics and screening processes at surfaces and domain walls. Here we explore the mechanism of tip-induced polarization switching at nonpolar cuts of uniaxial ferroelectrics. In this case...
