Single crystals of 67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–33PbTiO3 (PMN-PT, PMNT) relaxor-based complex perovskite solid solution grown by Bridgman method have pseudo-cubic symmetry under ambient conditions. Examination by means of polarized light microscopy showed that the microstructure of the crystals was dominated by a large number of coarse twin domains. It was confirmed that the most common composition planes were {110} in addition, {112} planes were also observed. These twins may be associated with the transformation of PMNT complex perovskite from the cubic to tetragonal upon a decrease in temperatures. The morphology of the domain structure may be explained from the theory of martensitic transformation.

Temperature-dependent domain configurations were studied for both unpoled and poled [110]C-oriented 0.63Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.37PbTiO3 (PMN–0.37PT) single crystals by polarized light microscopy (PLM).

An excellent chapter on this subject by V.D. Fréchette appeared in a book edited by L.L. Hench and R.W. Gould in 1971 (1). That chapter with the references cited there provides a very complete coverage of the subject. I will add a more complete coverage of an important polarized light microscope (PLM) technique developed more recently (2). Dispersion staining is based on refractive index and its variation with wavelength (dispersion of index). A particle of, say almandite, a garnet, has refractive indices of nF = 1.789 nm, nD = 1.780 nm and nC = 1.775 nm. A Cargille refractive index liquid having nD = 1.780 nm will have nF = 1.810 and nC = 1.768 nm. Almandite grains will disappear in that liquid when observed with a beam of 589 nm light (D-line), but it will have a lower refractive index than that liquid with 486 nm light (F-line), and a higher index than that liquid with 656 nm light (C-line).

Polarized light microscopy reveals twin domains and symmetry of the phases in CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal; domain structure remains unresponsive to electric field but changes under external stress, confirming ferroelasticity while ruling out ferroelectricity.
