Domain Nucleation and Growth in an Epitaxially Grown Wurtzite Ferroelectric

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric domain nucleation and growth in epitaxial wurtzite (Al, B, Sc)N films are visualized through in situ transmission electron microscopy. Domains initiate near the bottom electrode and propagate laterally with zigzag walls, while unswitched regions remain near the electrode interfaces.
