説明

The surface structure of GdP5O14 (gadolinium pentaphosphate) with a ferroelastic domain boundary is investigated by AFM (atomic force microscopy) at room temperature in air. The AFM data are obtained for a 1500-nm-square area (400× 400 data points) on the (100) surface of the sample. The domain boundary is observed as a zigzag pattern about 300, nm in width. The contour map of the surface shows a unique surface structure in which hollows are aligned along the domain boundary; the hollows have a width of about 600, nm and a depth of 2, nm. If the surface image indicates a strain originating from the domain boundary structure, the thickness of the ferroelastic domain wall of GdP5O14 is estimated to be about 0.6, μ m at room temperature.
