Abstract

This paper describes a newly developed ultra-high vacuum type scanning nonlinear dielectric microscope (UHV-SNDM) and the results from a ferroelectric LiTaO3 single crystal measured by the UHV-SNDM. In a cleaved (012) surface of LiTaO3 crystal, we can clearly observe a striped pattern with a period of about 0.3 nm and a granular pattern approximately corresponding to the sub-lattice period. From this image, we confirmed that the SNDM can be applied to lattice-level measurement in ferroelectric insulator materials.
