As was recently demonstrated, domain walls in ferroelectric materials show emergent electronic properties, like enhanced conductivity tunable by the relative orientation of the polarisation in the adjacent domains. Here, multiferroic materials with a coexistence of magnetic and electric order offer a new route for the control of such localised functionalities at domain boundaries.

Using spatially-resolved optical second harmonic generation we demonstrate the magneto-electric-field control of the multiferroic domains in Co-doped MnWO4. In particular, the obtained domain distribution remains unchanged upon the magnetic-field-induced continuous 90-rotation of the ferroelectric polarization.

This stability implies that multiferroic domain walls can accommodate for varying local polarisation configurations leading to local charging and discharging. We discuss the microscopic structure of the domain walls using micro-magnetic simulations.
