The evolution of the domain structures of [<sup>001</sup>]-oriented relaxor ferroelectric 0.93PbZn<sub>1/3</sub>Nb<sub>2/3</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-0.07PbTiO<sub>3</sub> (PZN-7%PT) single crystals as a function of temperature was investigated in situ by using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). It was found that the local domain structure of PZN-7%PT single crystals at room temperature is rhombohedral with nanoscale twins. Temperature-dependent domain structures showed that the phase transition proc ...[more]
