Abstract

Using Landau–Ginzburg–Devonshire theory we explore unusual electronic, structural and polar properties of the topological defects inherent in ferroics, such as ferroelectric and ferroelastic domain walls, which can have rich and tunable internal structure. Also we underline that the existence of 2D defects in ferroelectrics is similar to the cross-tie defects in the ferromagnetic Bloch domain walls. The seeding for the modulated phase can be a topological defect, such as a structural domain wall.
