Anti-parallel ferroelectric domains in surface space-charge layers of BaTiO3

Антипараллельные до мены в поверхностных слоях BatiO3

Abstract

It is shown on simplified models of a surface space-charge layer of a single crystal of BaTiO 3 that in the surface region, in which the direction of the electric field is opposite to the direction of spontaneous polarization inside the crystal, anti-parallel domains can exist. The dimensions of these domains are determined. The use of the results obtained is proposed for interpreting the microrelief of the etch figures and for explaining the different phases of the polarization reversal process of a single-domain single crystal of BaTiO 3.
