    Abstract

    The creations and manipulations of vortexes in ferroelectric materials with external stimuli are expected to be used in the design and fabrication of sensing materials and multifunctional electronic devices. In this work, we investigated the surface charge-induced multi-vortex evolution using the phase-field simulations in BiFeO3. A combination of domain morphology, polarization distribution and winding number calculation was considered. The results show that vortex and anti-vortex exist simultaneously in pairs, and the total value of winding numbers is always 0. In addition, the minimum distance Δl between the surface charge regions is 9nm when the vortex domains are independent of each other. This work provides a reference for the manipulation of ferroelectric vortex induced by surface charges, which lays a theoretical foundation for the design and fabrication of high-density vortex memories.
