We investigate strong magnetoresistance in domain walls of the model multiferroic BiFeO 3 by probing ordered arrays of 109°domain walls with temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent transport. We observe temperature-dependent variations in the transport mechanism and magnetoresistances as large as 60%. These results suggest that by locally breaking the symmetry of a material, such as at domain walls and structural interfaces, one can induce emergent behavior with properties that deviate significantly from the bulk. © 2012 American Physical Society.}, year = {2012}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {108}, number = {6}, issn = {00319007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.067203}, note = {cited By 103}, language = {eng}, }
