Multiferroic BiFeO3 crystals have been investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy using 442 nm (resonant conditions) and 633 nm (non-resonant conditions) laser wavelengths. The azimuthal angular dependence of the intensity of the Raman modes allowed an assignment to one of five symmetry characters, which are present in the directional dispersion [1,2]. Mixed symmetries were taken in account, considering the orientation of the optical c-axis along the pseudo-cubic <111>pc direction. The experimental data have been verified by a Raman tensor formalism simulation. The strong intensity variation of the polar Raman modes at 138 cm−1 (ETO - A1TO) and at 172 cm−1 (A1LO - ELO) were used for line scans, mappings and a depth profile in order to identify the elastic domain patterns. The distribution of domains found by Raman spectroscopy is in very good agreement with the domain pattern revealed by Electron Back Scattering Diffraction (EBSD) and Piezo-Force Microscopy (PFM).
