Abstract

Optical and electrical measurements on thin sections of Bi4Ti3O12 in orientations not previously measured have yielded the following results. The symmetry is monoclinic, point group m. The spontaneous polarization Ps is greater than 30 μC/cm2 and lies in a direction tilted slightly from the major crystal surface. Switching, with fields perpendicular to the major crystal surface, occurs by a small ``rocking'' of this large Ps vector. The large component parallel to the major crystal surface can also be switched with high fields. Thus, there are four possible spontaneous polarization directions in the virgin crystal giving rise to complex domain structures.
