Abstract

Domain switching and electrically induced fatigue cracking in BaTiO3 single crystal have been studied by in situ atomic force microscopy. The results show that an alternating electric field generates a random domain switching instead of a cyclic domain switching and an arrest crack is re-initiated by both positive and negative electric field.
