摘要
We present a new approach to nanoscale domain characterization using Raman scattering with scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). In Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) single crystals, we find that the polarization dependence of Raman spectra exhibits local symmetries that reflect domain structures. Moreover, Raman spectra at domain walls exhibit local symmetry breaking due to the presence of oxygen vacancies, and planer defects, due to oxygen vacancies, that accumulated near domain walls cause a strong domain pinning. These SNOM-Raman results shed new light on understanding of domain structures in BIT.
