Quasi-one-dimensional metallic conduction channels in exotic ferroelectric topological defects

Ferroelectric topological defects show emerging exotic physical properties, which are important for future nanoelectronic devices. Here, the authors demonstrate conductive metallic conduction channels in two types of topological defects, namely vortex and center cores.
