Abstract
The evolution of the domain structure during polarization reversal in single crystals of a relaxor ferroelectric strontium-barium niobate (Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6) doped with 0.05 wt.% Ni2O3 was investigated. The domains in the crystal bulk were imaged by Čerenkov-type second harmonic generation microscopy. Three types of domains were revealed: (1) domains with a broad boundary, (2) cylindrical domains, and (3) conical domains. Three stages of the domain shape evolution were distinguished in the domain with a broad boundary. The velocities of the sideways wall motion and forward domain growth were measured for all the domain types.
