We demonstrate the application of confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) for nondestructive imaging of ferroelectric domains both at the surface and in the bulk of lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) ferroelectric single crystals. The studied model periodical domain structure was created at a [001] cut of tetragonal-phase PMN-PT crystal by the electron beam patterning technique. It was shown that the surface CRM domain image coincides in details with the image obtained by piezoresponse force microscopy.

The evolution of the domain structures of [001]-oriented relaxor ferroelectric 0.93PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3-0.07PbTiO3 (PZN-7%PT) single crystals as a function of temperature was investigated in situ by using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). It was found that the local domain structure of PZN-7%PT single crystals at room temperature is rhombohedral with nanoscale twins. Temperature-dependent domain structures showed that the phase transition process is a collective process and that the sample underwent a sequence of rhombohedral (R) → monoclinic (Mc) → tetragonal (T) → cubic (C) phase transformations when the temperature increased from 25 °C to 170 °C. The results provide direct observation of the phase transition evolution of PZN-7%PT single crystals as a function of temperature, which is of great significance to fully understand the relationships between the domain structure and phase structure of PZN-7%PT single crystals.

ABSTRACT (1-x)PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT) single crystals of different compositions were studied via piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Piezoelectric contrast has been observed in 0.9PMN-0.1PT above the temperature of structural transition indicating spatial distribution of polarization and was attributed to the existence of polar clusters. The domain patterns were found to change drastically with increasing Ti content. In particular, the piezoresponse images of 0.8PMN-0.2PT combine both relaxor and ferroelectric features and in 0.65PMN-0.35PT crystals only micron-sized ferroelectric domains were observed. The evolution of the polar structures with increasing temperature and under external electric field was also investigated. The nature of the observed phenomena is discussed based on the current understanding of the relaxor state in ferroelectrics and possible influence of PFM instrumentation

ABSTRACTBismuth iron oxide BFO films were produced by the pulsed laser deposition technique. These films are a mixture of BiFeO3 ferroelectrical and Bi25FeO40 piezoelectrical phases. The ferroelectrical domain structure of these films was studied via contact resonance piezoresponse force microscopy (CR-PFM) and resonance tracking PFM (RT-PFM). The proportions of area of these BFO phases were derived from the PFM images. The ferroelectrical domain size corresponds to the size of the BiFeO3 crystals. The CR-PFM and RT-PFM techniques allowed us to be able to distinguish between the ferroelectric domains and the piezoelectric regions existing in the polycrystalline films.
