Next, we observed 90 domain walls (a-c domain walls) and 180 domain walls (c-c domain walls) and we obtained the minimum value of 180 c-c domain wall thickness was 1.87 nm and 90 a-c domain wall was 2.52 nm.}, year = {2003}, journal = {Ferroelectrics}, volume = {292}, pages = {171-180}, issn = {00150193}, doi = {10.1080/00150190390222961}, note = {cited By 1}, language = {eng}, }
