In this project, the transition between ferroelectric and paraelectric phases of BaTiO3 (BTO) was studied. A BTO single crystal was heated up and cooled down through the Curie temperature (Tc) in an Atomic Force Microscope equipped with a heating stage. The piezoresponse of the single crystal was al...
