Li, M.; Tao, L. L.; Velev, J. P.; and Tsymbal, Evgeny Y., "Resonant tunneling across a ferroelectric domain wall" (2018 Motivated by recent experimental observations, we explore electron transport properties of a ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) with an embedded head-to-head ferroelectric domain wall, using first-principles density-functional theory calculations. We consider a FTJ with La 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 electrodes separated by a BaTiO 3 barrier layer and show that an in-plane charged domain wall in the ferroelectric BaTiO 3 can be induced by polar interfaces. The resulting V-shaped electrostatic potential profile across the BaTiO 3 layer creates a quantum well and leads to the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas, which stabilizes the domain wall. The confined electronic states in the barrier are responsible for resonant tunneling as is evident from our quantum-transport calculations. We find that the resonant tunneling is an orbital selective process, which leads to sharp spikes in the momentum-and energy-resolved transmission spectra. Our results indicate that domain walls embedded in FTJs can be used to control the electron transport.
