Application of the Fourier transforms for analysis of the domain structure images of uniaxial ferroelectric

The formation of ferroelectric domains in triglycine sulfate crystal in the para–ferroelectric phase transition has been investigated in situ by piezoresponse force microscopy. The domain structure has been analyzed using the images of Fourier transforms of the scanned (010) surface of natural cleavage. The formation of a quasi-periodic one-dimensional structure of 180° domains with dominant components of one sign below TC near the transition point is revealed and crystallographic reference to the laboratory coordinate system is performed.
