BaFe₂As₂ belongs to the family of iron-based high temperature superconductors. In previous publications it was reported that superconductivity occurs under certain conditions, e.g. by chemical doping, pressure or epitaxial strain. Undoped BaFe₂As₂ orders antiferromagnetically at T_C ≈ 140 K and simultaneously undergoes a tetragonal I4/mmm to orthorhombic Fmmm structural phase transition. The orthorhombic structure leads to the formation of twin lamellae. Investigations reported so far using transmission electron microscopy and polarized light microscopy show inconclusive results with respect to the domain size. To achieve high spatial resolution (≤ 100 nm) an experimental setup was used consisting of a scanning electron microscope with sample holder on a helium cryostat and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. EBSD mappings of domains below T_C and after a cooling-warming cycle will be presented and discussed.
