| Zusammenfassung | The topography of the intersection of ferroelastic W domain walls with (100) surfaces of lead phosphate, Pb3(PO4)2, has been imaged with tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TMAFM). Spontaneous deformation of the ferrophase leads to a cleavage plane which forms a zig-zag profile along W domain walls. The predicted angle of 178:55° between two adjacent domains on a (100) surface is confirmed by TMAFM observations. Surface deformation has no influence on this angle due to the dominance of the long-range spontaneous strain. Furthermore, W domains end as needle-like structures and TMAFM observations show that there is no detectable change in the local surface deformation in the vicinity of these needle tips. |
