Schematic illustration of the
MA/MB monoclinic domains and numeration of their variants. (a) The unit-cell distortion along with the rotation of the SPD (if such polarization is present). (b) The stereographic projection, showing these directions for the domains of tetragonal (red squares), rhombohedral (green triangles) and monoclinic (blue circles) symmetry. The tetragonal domains (1), (2), (3) correspond to the SPD along [100], [010] and [001], respectively. The rhombohedral domains (1), (2), (3) and (4) correspond to the SPD along [111], [111], [111] and [111] directions, respectively. The SPDs within the 12 monoclinic domains are further explained in Table 1. |
