contents We explore the impact of a magnetic field on the ferroelectric domain pattern in polycrystalline hexagonal ErMnO3 at cryogenic temperatures. Utilizing piezoelectric force microscopy measurements at 1.65 K, we observe modifications of the topologically protected ferroelectric domain structure induced by the magnetic field. These alterations likely result from strain induced by the magnetic field, facilitated by intergranular coupling in polycrystalline multiferroics. Our findings give insights into the interplay between electric and magnetic properties at the local scale and represent a so far unexplored pathway for manipulating topologically protected ferroelectric vortex patterns in hexagonal manganites.
