  17. 3. Domain observation by means of SHG interferometry

  18. Visualization of FE Domains by SHG Interferometry

  19. SHG Interference Image of Ferroelectric Domains (>TCO) (< TCO) Transmission Image • SHG image splits into bright and dark regions for T < TCO → Generation of ferroelectric domains • Growth of large domains→P is cancelled by residual charge carriers K. Yamamoto et al., APL, 2010.

  20. Constructive and Destructive Interference of SHG K. Yamamoto et al., APL, 2010.

  21. a b Variation of Domain Structure Domain walls are shifted when crystal is annealed above TCO → Domains are mobile!! (though we have not succeeded in control by electric fields)

  22. Summary 1. Dip-shape anomaly in IR spectrum: ▬ assigned to the overtone of molecular vibrations ▬ The activation is attributed to the anharmonic emv coupling associated with charge disproportionation 2. Activation of SHG along with CO in α-(ET)2I3 ▬ verifies our hypothesis derived from the study of the overtone ▬ unambiguous proof of the generation of spontaneous polarization 3. Observation of SHG interference in α-(ET)2I3 ▬ Ferroelectric domains are visualized for the first time ▬ Large domains: P is screened by residual charge carriers ▬ Mobility of domain walls is demonstrated
