Abstract

Domain structures investigation in (HO)-oriented Pb(Mg1/3Nb 2/3)O33-33% PbTiO3 (PMN-33% PT) single crystals has been performed by piezoresponse force microscopy. Submicron-sized fingerprint pattern and tweed pattern domains (TPDs) have been observed in large parallel domains with typical sizes of 20-30 μm. Based on the existence of gradual transition regions between fingerprint pattern domains and TPDs in the same large ferroelectric domain, the relationship between the two pattern domains is discussed and a possible formation mechanism of the domain structure in PMN-33% PT single crystal is proposed.
