Abstract

Abstract : Non‐Ising‐like 180° ferroelectric domain wall architecture and domain distribution in tetragonal PbZr x Ti1− x O3 thin films are probed using a combination of optical second harmonic generation and scanning transmission electron microscopy. In the remnant state, a specific nonlinear optical signature of tilted 180° domain walls corresponding to a mixed Ising–Néel‐type rotation of polarization across the wall is shown.
