Abstract
In this work, ferroelectric domain structures of <001 >-oriented K0.15Na0.85NbO3single crystal are characterized. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation revealed high-density of laminate domain structures in the crystal and the lattices of the neighboring domains are found to be twisted in a small angle. Superlattice diffraction spots of 1/2 {eeo } and 1/2 {ooe} in electron diffraction patterns are observed in the crystal, revealing the a+a+c-tilting of oxygen octahedral in the perovskite structure. The piezoresponse of domains and in-situ poling responses of K0.15Na0.85NbO3crystal are observed by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), and the results assure its good ferroelectric properties.
