We have revealed an electron emission on the switching of extrinsic gadolinium molybdate ferroelectric-ferroelastic in electric field. Visualization of the electron flow allows directly watching of the domain structure dynamics: formation and growth of tapered domains and lateral movement of the 180° domain wall. We have found that the electron emission contributes substantially to the screening processes in the case of a crystal with free surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
