Electro-mechanical interactions between charged point defects and domain walls play a key role in the functional properties of bulk and thin-film ferroelectrics. While for perovskites the macroscopic implications of the ordering degree of defects on domain-wall pinning have been reported, atomistic details of these mechanisms remain unclear. Here, based on atomic and nanoscale analyses, we propose a pinning mechanism associated with conductive domain walls in BiFeO<sub>3</sub>, whose origin lies ...[more]
