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.

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.

Domain Structures

Evolution of the domain structure in bulk polycrystalline PZT during poling was studied using Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). For the study, two different experimental methods were employed. First, a trapezoidal PZT specimen was subjected to electric field so as to produce a wide variation of electric field intensity in the specimen. PFM images were then acquired from several different areas that have experienced different field strengths. Histograms of pixel intensity show a distinct difference in the pattern of piezoresponse signal between poled and unpoled areas. The presence of non-180° domain structure in the scanned area significantly affects the histogram pattern. At high levels of electric field the presence of mainly 180° domain structures leads to a bi-modal M-shaped histogram. To illustrate the evolution of the non-180° domain structure, in-plane poling was conducted with the electric field level increased in steps, and the domain evolution process was observed by PFM after each step. The resulting images demonstrate that non-180° domain structures gradually disappear from the specimen surface during the poling process. The PFM data can be exploited to study domain evolution in bulk ferroelectric materials via both qualitative observation and statistical analysis.
