Meso- to nano-scopic domain structures in high Curie-temperature piezoelectric BiScO3–PbTiO3 single crystals of complex perovskite structure

Abstract

Multi-scale domain structures in the BiScO3–PbTiO3 single crystal are imagined and analyzed by birefringence imaging microscopy (BIM) and piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), revealing the local distortion in the vicinity of the domain walls.
