| Abstract: | Several new etch-pit features in BaTiO3 single crystals are shown and discussed. Etch-pit resolution was facilitated by using a 4% HNO3, 2% HF etchant and by prepolishing the crystals. Etch-pit patterns in plastically deformed regions suggested that the preferred mode of slip in cubic BaTiOs is the 110, (110) direction. An etch-pit structure possibly associated with twins was also observed. |
