Abstract

$LiTaO_3$ single crystal has been studied for surface acoustic wave(SAW) applications. There are two kinds of $LiTaO_3$ single crystals, stoichiometric $LiTaO_3$ (SLT) and congruent $LiTaO_3$ (CLT). These two crystals show quite different dielectrical properties, which might be related with defects in crystals. In this study, we observed the domain boundary of SLT and CLT with scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy and discussed the stress distribution in $LiTaO_3$ single crystals.
