(a) Polarization as a function of parameter η during the switching for BaTiO3 with
vacancy. η = 0 is the initial configuration before switching; η = 1 is the final configuration after switching. (b) Change in energy ΔE(η) = E(η) − E(η = 0) as a function of η during polarization switching for BaTiO3 with
vacancy, using the proposed switching pathway in Fig. 4(b).
