| contents | Phase-field simulations demonstrate that the polarization order-parameter field in the Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire model of rhombohedral ferroelectric BaTiO3 allows for an interesting linear defect, stable under simple periodic boundary conditions. This linear defect, termed here as Ising line, can be described as about 2 nm thick intrinsic paraelectric nanorod acting as a highly mobile borderline between finite portions of Bloch-like domain walls of the opposite helicity. These Ising lines play the role of domain boundaries associated with the Ising-to-Bloch domain wall phase transition. |
