Abstract
In this chapter the results of scanning probe microscopic (SPM) investigations near ferroelectric (ferroic)—paraelectric phase transitions are presented. Submicroscopic investigations of domains near the transition temperature are of fundamental importance both for the basic understanding of the phase transitions itself but also for devices operating near the transition temperatures.
