Evolution of ferroelectric domain patterns in BaTiO3 at the orthorhombic tetragonal phase transition — •Thorsten Limböck and Elisabeth Soergel — Institute of Physics, University of Bonn, Nussallèe 12, 53115 Bonn, Germany

Domain patterns in barium titanate (BTO) were investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) using a variable-temperature scanning force microscope. By analyzing the vertical and the lateral PFM images, the directions of polarization of the individual domains, i. e. 6 directions for the tetragonal and 12 for the orthorhombic phase, could be identified. The change of a domain pattern when submitting the crystal to a temperature ramp between +20 and −20 synchronized to the PFM scanning process, was directly monitored. Finally, the possible conversions between specific domain orientations upon heating/cooling the crystal across the phase transition were experimentally confirmed.
