Abstract

The ferroelectric domain structure of K2ZnCl4 was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The domain feature was observed on the (010) cleavage surface which is parallel to the polar a axis. This finding demonstrates that the image of ferroelectric domains observed by AFM is not due to the interaction between the tip and the spontaneous polarization, but due to a real deformation of the crystal surface.
