Functional Topologies in (Multi-) Ferroics: The Ferroelastic Template

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Topological Structures in Ferroic Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 228))

Abstract

Ferroelastic domain boundaries are templates for functional interfaces with supercondunctivity, ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism constraint to the domain boundary. The topologies of these functional interfaces are described for three, two and one dimension(s), thus showing the basic topological approch to Domain Boundary Engineering.
