Domain distributions in tetragonal ferroelectric thin films probed by optical second harmonic generation

Controlling the domain arrangement in a ferroelectric material is the key to accessing its functional properties. However, when a ferroelectric thin film is inserted into a multilayer device architecture, conventional characterization techniques provide limited access to the buried distribution of p...
