Imaging of ferroelectric and ferroelastic domains in PbTiO3. (a) Illustration of the domain structures present in a ferroelectric thin film. The arrows indicate the direction of the polarization vector with respect to the crystallographic directions of the cubic substrate SrTiO3 (001). (b) XRIM image showing a sequence of a- and c-domains, acquired at 002 reflection of PbTiO3. The scale bar is 300 nm. The crystallographic axes in the image indicate the measured orientation of the lattice, determined by SrTiO3 101 and 011 reflections. (c) Specular truncation rod measured from the PbTiO3/SrTiO3 system. The arrow points to the scattering condition (PTO 002) where the XRIM imaging was performed. |
