Abstract
Domain walls in ferroelectric materials attract great interest since they can possess fascinating functionalities. Therefore, it is very important to modulate domain structures. Our recent experiments showed that oxygen vacancy plates could induce charged domain walls with different types. However, the detailed transition behavior between different charged domain walls was not explored. In this work, systematical phase field simulations were performed to reveal the evolution of domain structures with the size and charge density of the oxygen vacancy plate. These results could provide a route to build complex patterns of charged domain walls.Keywords
