Direct evidence of the electronic configurations across domain walls in BiFeO 3 is quantitatively characterized by cross‐sectional scanning tunneling microscopy. Atomic‐scale band evolution and the asymmetrically built‐in potential barrier at domain boundaries are demonstrated. The 109° domain walls register a remarkable decrease in the bandgap, suggesting a new route to control the local conducting channels within 2 nm.
