Scanning electron micrographs of barium titanate in different microstructure scaling embodiments showing (red) a single crystal with ferroelastic domain structure, (green) a micrometer‐scale grain size bulk ceramic, and (blue) a polycrystalline nano‐scale grain size thin film. The respective polarization versus electric field hysteresis responses are superimposed showing the effects of size scaling on ferroelectric performance.

Jones, Jon‐Paul Maria, and Susan Trolier‐McKinstry.
