Abstract
Ferroelectric domains have been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) within c planes of at room temperature. The structures are observed during polarization switching in noncontact and contact mode. They are due to piezoelectric and electrostrictive indentations, respectively. Volume holographic recording has been visualized on a planes by AFM via surface corrugation. It is due to light-induced charge-density waves along the polar c axis and nondiagonal piezoelectric coupling.
