A hybrid domain wall in K₃[Nb₃O₆|(BO₃)₂]

Caption

A hybrid domain wall in K₃[Nb₃O₆|(BO₃)₂]. The walls separate two regions with different arrangements of dipoles (red and blue arrows). The spheres represent the structure of the niobium atoms (Nb). Such domain walls possess several unique functional properties that may open up new possibilities in future electronics, sensors, and other advanced technologies.
