英文摘要 | Discovery of non-trivial topological structures in condensed matters holds promise in novel technological paradigms. In contrast to ferromagnetics, where a variety of topological structures such as vortex, meron, and skyrmion have been discovered, only few topological structures can exist in ferroelectrics due to the lack of non-collinear interaction like the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in ferromagnetics. Here, we demonstrate that polarization structures with a wide range of topological numbers (winding number n from -3 to +1) can be mechanically excited and designed by the mode-I singular stress field formed near the crack-tip in incipient ferroelectric SrTiO3. Our phase-field simulations based on Ginzburg-Landau theory successfully reveals that the near-tip polar topology is driven by the flexoelectric coupling with intense strain gradient at the tip, while a variety of the far-field topological structures is triggered by a collaboration between the electrostrictive and flexoelectric effects. The strain (gradient) field analysis further shows that the unexpected topological characters are implied in the singular stress field, which develops a variety of polar topologies near the crack tip. Therefore, our work provides a novel insight into the unusual interplay between mechanical- and ferroelectric-topologies, i.e. 'topological strain-field engineering', which paves the way to the mechanical design of functional topologies in the matter. |
