Article Abstract
Potential gradients due to the spontaneous polarization of BiFeO(3) yield asymmetric and nonlinear photocarrier dynamics. Photocurrent direction is determined by local ferroelectric domain orientation, whereas magnitude is spectrally centered around charged domain walls that are associated with oxygen vacancy migration. Photodetection can be electrically controlled by manipulating ferroelectric domain configurations.

In this study, using a set of scanning probe microscopy techniques, we investigate the electronic properties of the domain walls in the layered ferroelectric semiconductor of the transition metal oxide dihalide family, NbOI. Although the uniaxial ferroelectricity of NbOI allows only 180° domain walls, the pristine 2D flakes, where polarization is aligned in-plane, typically exhibit a variety of as-grown domain patterns outlined by the electrically neutral and charged domain walls. The electrically biased probing tip can modify the as-grown domain structures.

The generation of coherent deep-ultraviolet (DUV) radiation via nonlinear frequency conversion remains a major scientific and technological challenge in modern optics. To date, only a very limited number of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals-such as KBBF, ABF, and quartz-have been experimentally demonstrated to support measurable direct second-harmonic generation (SHG) at wavelengths of 177 nm or shorter. There is a pressing need to develop alternative materials or strategies that enable efficient frequency conversion in the DUV region.

MEMS and NEMS increasingly integrate multiple functions within compact platforms, enabled by piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials such as PZT, BaTiO, AlN, ScAlN, PVDF, and HfZrO. These materials support devices including mechanical sensors, RF resonators for gas detection, energy harvesters, non-volatile memories such as FeRAM and FeFETs, and neuromorphic computing arrays, as well as microspeakers and microphones for compact audio interfaces. They also play a key role in reconfigurable photonic components through acousto-optic and electro-optic modulation.

Bismuth-layered structure ferroelectrics (BLSFs), exemplified by CaBiTaO (CBTa), exhibit exceptional thermal stability at high temperatures with a high Curie temperature. This attribute renders them highly promising candidates for piezoelectric sensors, transducers, non-volatile ferroelectric memory, working in extreme environments. However, CBTa ceramic suffers from the following intrinsic limitations: spontaneous polarization confined within the -plane of the unit cell and a large coercive field, leading to severely suppressed piezoelectric activity ( ≈ 5.

The quest to develop energy-efficient and fast optoelectronic control of memory devices is essential. In this respect, ferroelectric materials are gaining tremendous importance in information and communication technology. Here, we demonstrate light-controlled polarisation switching on a subsecond timescale ( <500 ms) in a freestanding BaTiO membrane, which is nearly 1200 times faster than the previously reported response using a BaTiO thin film.
