Nanoscale bubble domains with polar topologies in bulk ferroelectrics

Nanoscale bubble domains with polar topologies in bulk ferroelectrics

Experimentally manipulating bubble domains remains elusive especially in the bulk form of ferroelectrics. Here, the authors achieve self-confined bubble domains with multiple polar topologies in bulk Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 ferroelectrics, demonstrating reversible and donut-like domain morphology evolution.
