Domain Pattern Evolution in Polarization Reversal of Telluric Acid Ammonium Phosphate Crystals

Abstract: The domain nucleation and growth during switching process in telluric acid ammonium phosphate crystals has been investigated by nematic liquid crystal decoration technique. The domain configuration arising during polarization reversal has been discussed, considering that the type of nucleation is the controlling factor in the propagation of the domain walls.

“…Similar ordered alignment of domain nuclei, and thus of defect sites which are nucleation centres, was also induced in a thermal shock. Stripe-like domains elongated in the b-direction have been observed in an as-grown crystal sample that exhibits only a small initial unipolarity [27].…”

“…As was described in detail in [27], the domain configuration arising during polarization reversal in TAAP crystal depends greatly on the electric field strength applied to the crystal. In weak dc fields plate-like domains elongated in the b-direction were observed on the crystal surface normal to the polar axis.…”
