STM and STS studies of ferroelectric domain structures on BaTiO3(001) and BaTiO3(111) single crystals — •Maik Christl, Christian Hagendorf und Wolf Widdra — Institute of Physics, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Germany

A new method of characterizing ferroelectric domain structures on nanometer scale by using a STM is presented. We demonstrate a domain contrast of various domain arrangements based on dI/dV maps. On BaTiO3(001) we can differentiate between ferroelectric c+, c, and a domains based on STM and STS. Additionally domain boundaries between 90 in-plane polarized domains become visible in STS maps. During heating BaTiO3(111) above the Curie temperature, a modified domain pattern is found. The ferroelectric domain structure can be modified locally by tunneling at higher bias voltages. This STM-induced domain nanostructuring will be discussed in comparison to recent AFM studies [1].
