Three-dimensional ferroelectric domain mapping in lithium niobate — •Thomas Kämpfe1, Mathias Schröder1, Philipp Reichenbach1, Alexander Haußmann1, Theo Woike2, and Lukas M.

Ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) are an elegant new approach towards nanoelectric circuitry, as they intrinsically exhibit DW conduction within an insulating volume. The DW conductivity in Mg:LiNbO3 single crystals depends on the inclination [1], which is related to the poling conditions and doping concentration, effectively altering the wall pinning. For three-dimensional investigations of conductive DWs, we apply Cerenkov second-harmonic generation (CSHG) with adjustable fundamental wavelength in a range of 800 – 990 nm. This technique enables the noninvasive DW characterization throughout the whole crystals. Here, we report that conductive DWs have constant inclination throughout the whole crystal. The extracted inclination angles are in agreement with surface-sensitive PFM measurements in [1]. Besides this, the visualization of topological defects, e.g. the merging of two domains within the crystal or domains being completely embedded within the bulk, are shown.
