Abstract

Analysis of results on the study and classification of various interfaces in polydomain and heterophase ferroelectric single crystals and related materials is carried out. Classification of domain boundaries in ferroelectric single crystals is highlighted. An emphasis is placed on crystallographic methods that can be applied to study complicated domain (twin) structures and their rearrangement, heterophase states, features of the formation of the new phase, etc., in ferroelectric solid solutions. Examples of complete stress relief and zero-net-strain planes at the interphase boundaries in two-phase single crystals are discussed for many cases of first-order phase transitions.
