Indentation-induced local polarization reversal in La doped BiFeO3 ceramics
Stress-induced local polarization reversal was studied in La doped BiFeO3 ceramics under the action of indentation. Piezoresponse force microscopy was used for study of domain struc-ture before and after local polarization reversal. Two mechanisms of domain formation were revealed: (1) direct stress-induced and (2) stress mediated by grain clamping. Critical stress value for local polarization reversal was extracted from the dependence of the switched area on the applied loading force.The equipment of the Ural Center for Shared Use “Modern nanotechnology” Ural Federal University was used.

Dielectric Relaxation and Charged Domain Walls in (K,Na)NbO3-Based Ferroelectric Ceramics
The influence of domain walls on the macroscopic properties of ferroelectric materials is a well known phenomenon. Commonly, such “extrinsic” contributions to dielectric permittivity are discussed in terms of domain wall displacements under external electric field. In this work, we report on a possible contribution of charged domain walls to low frequency (10-106 Hz) dielectric permittivity in K1-xNaxNbO3 ferroelectric ceramics. It is shown that the effective dielectric response increases with increasing domain wall density. The effect has been attributed to the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars relaxation. The obtained results may open up possibilities for domain wall engineering in various ferroelectric materials. © 2017 Author(s).The equipment of the Ural Center for Shared Use "Modern Nanotechnology" UrFU has been used.
