abstract = {Understanding and controlling domain formation in nanoscale
ferroelectrics is interesting from a fundamental point of
view and of great technological importance. Increasing
miniaturization allows creating complex domain structures,
offering novel functionalities that could be particularly
useful for the development of nanoelectronic devices. While
most studies in thin films focus on domain patterns with
up/down polarization for ferroelectric memories, domain
structures with purely in-plane polarization have not been
much investigated. However, such structures are potentially
useful in optical devices or to avoid depolarization fields
in ultra-thin films, as long as the domains can be addressed
and switched. We use a combination of compositional
substitutions and epitaxial growth on a substrate in order
to tune the domain configuration. The substitution of Pb by
Sr in PbxSr1−xTiO3 thin films grown epitaxially on
(110)-DyScO3, stabilizes a domain structure with purely
in-plane polarization. In this work, we show that it is
possible to stabilize and control a complex domain
architecture at two different length scales, yielding
periodic ferroelectric nano-domains with purely in-plane
polarization. Most importantly, these in-plane domains can
be switched by a scanning probe.},
