| The domain nucleation and growth during switching process in telluric acid ammonium phosphate crystals has been investigated by nematic liquid crystal decoration technique. The domain configuration arising during polarization reversal has been discussed, considering that the type of nucleation is the controlling factor in the propagation of the domain walls. |
