Temperature Dependent Surface Images of BaTiO 3 Observed by Atomic Force Microscopy

We used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to study the surface morphology of butterfly-like crystals of BaTiO 3 . Observations were made while varying the temperature from room temperature to 150°C and the annihilation process of the surface structure due to 90° domain boundaries was detected. The re...

Description
Summary:We used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to study the surface morphology of butterfly-like crystals of BaTiO 3 . Observations were made while varying the temperature from room temperature to 150°C and the annihilation process of the surface structure due to 90° domain boundaries was detected. The relationship between the surface gradient change at the domain boundaries and the tetragonal distortion was discussed.
