abstract = {Conductive domain walls (DWs) in ferroic oxides as device
elements are a highly attractive research topic because of
their robust and agile response to electric field. Charged
DWs possessing metallic-type conductivity hold the highest
promises in this aspect. However, their intricate creation,
low stability, and interference with nonconductive DWs
hinder their investigation and the progress toward future
applications. Here, we find that conversion of the nominally
neutral ferroelastic 90° DWs into partially charged DWs in
Pb(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 thin films enables easy and robust control
over the DW conductivity. By employing transmission electron
microscopy, conductive atomic force microscopy and
phase-field simulation, our study reveals that charging of
the ferroelastic DWs is controlled by mutually coupled DW
bending, type of doping, polarization orientation and
work-function of the adjacent electrodes. Particularly, the
doping outweighs other parameters in controlling the DW
conductivity. Understanding the interplay of these key
parameters not only allows us to control and optimize
conductivity of such ferroelastic DWs in the oxide
ferroelectrics but also paves the way for utilization of
DW-based nanoelectronic devices in the future.},
