| contents | Since the discovery of polar topological textures, achieving efficient control and manipulation of them has emerged as a significant challenge for their integration into nanoelectronic devices. In this study, we use second principles molecular dynamic simulations to demonstrate the precise and reversible control of domain arrangements stabilizing diverse polarization textures through the application of various inhomogeneous electric fields. Furthermore, we conduct an in-depth study of ferroelectric domain motion under such fields, revealing features consistent with creep dynamics and establishing an upper limit for their propagation speed. Notably, our findings show that domain walls exhibit an asymmetric inertial response, present at the onset of the dynamics but absent during their cessation. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic behavior of polar textures, paving the way for the development of high-speed, low-power nanoelectronic applications. |
