Ferroelectric domain configurations in silver- and lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics were characterized by scanning force microscopy using contact as well as piezoelectric response force [i.e., piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM)] modes. Coarse crystallites of hard and soft PZT ceramics (12 μm in Ag-PZT and 30 μm in La-PZT average grain size, respectively) with surface oriented in the {001} planes were chosen to characterize the domain configuration. Results show the conventional right-angled domain structures, which correspond to the {110} twin-related 90° and 180° domains of homogeneous width from 50 to 150 nm. The ability of PFM to image the orientation of pure in-plane arrays of domains (containing 90°-aa- and 180°-aa-types of domain boundaries) is highlighted, and a more detailed notation for in-plane domains is proposed. In addition to such periodical domain arrays, other ordered domains were found, having a misfit of 26° with respect to the{110} domain walls and the {100} surface. This array of domain walls could not be predicted with a geometrical analysis of the intersection of domain walls at the surface according to the conventional spatial array of {110} crystallographic planes. It could be explained only with {210} planes being the domain walls. The reason for this unconventional domain configuration is explained with the clamped conditions of the investigated crystallites in the polycrystalline material.

Electron holography has recently been available to modern electron microscopy labs with the development of field emission electron microscopes. The unique advantage of recording both amplitude and phase of the object wave makes electron holography a effective tool to study electron optical phase objects. The visibility of the phase shifts of the object wave makes it possible to directly image the distributions of an electric or a magnetic field at high resolution. This work presents preliminary results of first high resolution imaging of ferroelectric domain walls by electron holography in BaTiO3 and quantitative measurements of electrostatic field distribution across domain walls.

The dynamic piezoelectric response of SrBi4Ti4O15 ceramics with Aurivillius structure was investigated at high alternating stress, low frequencies (0.01 to 100 Hz), and temperatures from 20 to 200 °C. The piezoelectric nonlinearity, observed only at high pressures (>10 MPa) and elevated temperatures (>150 °C), is interpreted in terms of contributions from non-180° domain walls. At weak fields, the frequency dependence of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient was explained in terms of Maxwell–Wagner piezoelectric relaxation. The Maxwell–Wagner units are identified as colonies that consist of highly anisotropic grains which sinter together, and whose distribution in the ceramic is strongly dependent on sintering conditions.
