Recently there has been great interest in using patterned ferroelectric materials for the photochemical growth of metal nanostructures. Variations in surface and sub-surface structure influence the photochemical processes. Here we show that crystallography, and hence remnant polarization, of the ferroelectric affects photo-deposition. The ratio of metal growth on c-and c(+) domains varies from 1:2 for [100] to 1:100 for [111]. This is shown to be dependent on the variations in the band structure.
