Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to the visualization for the surface morphology due to the monoclinic domain structures in NdP₅O₁₄ and WO₃ at room temperature. The bend of the crystal surface has been observed, which is reasonably explained by the monoclinic lattice distortion. For NdP₅O₁₄, the image with high magnification for the domain boundaries was obtained although any peculiar structure was detected. For WO₃, in addition to the monoclinic domain structure, the orthorhombic domain boundary was also observed.
