Abstract

A novel approach to on-demand improvement of electronic properties in complex-oxide ferroelectrics is demonstrated whereby ion bombardment – commonly used in classic semiconductor materials – is applied to the PbTiO3 system. The result is deterministic reduction in leakage currents by 5 orders of magnitude, improved ferroelectric switching, and unprecedented insights into the nature of defects and intergap state evolution in these materials.
