Injection and controlled motion of conducting domain walls in improper ferroelectric Cu-Cl boracite

Conducting ferroelectric domain walls constitute a new class of functional material, but to achieve site-specific injection and annihilation of such walls is challenging. Here, McQuaidet al. report site-specific injection of such walls in Cu3B7O13Cl created by local point-stress and controlled by el...
