AbstractAn atomic force microscope is used for visualization and control of domain structure in the ferroelectric crystal guanidinium aluminum sulfate hexahydrate (GASH). Large built-in domains are delineated due to the tip-sample electrostatic interaction by the force microscope operating in friction mode. It is found that an applied voltage of a particular sign created new domains whereas a potential of opposite sign erased these domains. Domains created by an external electric field are visualised in topography mode due to piezoelectric deformation of the crystal. The dynamics of domain lateral growth has been directly observed with nanoscale resolution.

Ferroelectric domains are twins that are formed when PZT undergoes a phase transformation from a non-ferroelectric cubic phase to a ferroelectric tetragonal phase upon cooling below ∼375°C.,1 The tetragonal phase is spontaneously polarized in the direction of c-axis, making each twin a ferroelectric domain. Thin foils of polycrystalline Pb (Zr.52Ti.48)03 were made by ion milling and observed in the Philips EM301 with a double tilt stage.
