Ferroelectric domain states of a tetragonal BiFeO3 thin film investigated by second harmonic generation microscopy

Abstract We investigate the ferroelectric state of a tetragonal BiFeO3 thin film grown on a LaAlO3 (001) substrate using an optical second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope. Whereas the ferroelectric state of this material hosts nanometer-sized domains which again form micrometer-sized domains of...
