The group-theoretical approach analyzing the domain structure and the domain wall orientations of the ferroelastic crystal was introduced. These theoretical results were investigated by comparing them with the experimental results of several ferroelastic crystals, CsPbCl₃, Pb₃(PO₄)₂, and LiCsSO₄, which were grown by the Czochralski and solution methods, respectively. both results were agreed well and also consistent with those of previous works such s the strain method and the geometrical consideration. The group-theoretical approach showed that the ferroelastic domain walls must be the crystallographical prominent planes with fixed indices and classified by the symmetry elements characterizing the permissible domain walls. So the group-theoretical approach could be suggested as a new method for analyzing the structure of the ferroelastic domain and domain walls.

Ferroelastic $CsPbCl_3$ crystals were grown by the Czochralski method and Bridgman method. From XRD, DTA and the dielectric measurements, we investigated the structure and confirmed the phase transition temperatures of it. Using the polarizing microscope, we observed the ferroelastic domains and the temperature dependence of the domains. For the orientation states, we obtained the consistent result with the theoretical investigation by the crystallographical consideration. For Aizu species m3mF2/m(p) 12 orientation states are represented crystallographically.

Microstructural investigations of $(1-x)NdAlO_3-xCaTiO_3$ (NACT) complex perovskite compounds were carried out using X-ray diffractometry, neutron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. When $0.3{\leq}x{\leq}0.9$, NACT had not only the 1 : 1 chemical ordering of cations but also the antiphase and inphase tilting of oxygen octahedron and the antiparallel shift of cations. Both the antiphase boundaries and the ferroelastic domains were present in the microstructure. The long and straight ferroelastic domains became degenerate as x decreases. When x was smaller than 0.3, the chemical ordering was absent and the antiphase tilting of oxygen octahedron was observed. The defects like tangled dislocations and the second phase were also found in the microstructure.

We investigated domains and conoscope under the polarizing microscope and the index of refraction on the c-plate GMO which has the ferroelectric and ferroelastic phase at room temperature. To observed the change of refractive index in connection with domain, we developed an apparatus to obtain the refractive index by measuring the Brewster's angle. The resolution of the minimum rotation angle of this apparatus is $0.001^{\circ}$. To obtain the refractive index map on the sample, the moving distance of XY stage loaded sample holder is 60 mm and the minimum moving distance is 0.002 mm. Also, To obtain the indicatrix for single crystal, vertical turntable with sample holder and XY stage was loading on horizontal turntable. The minimum resolution angle of this vertical turntable is $0.001^{\circ}$. We measured the refractive index of transparent materials such as ferroelectrics. In the case of $Gd_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$, the Brewster angle is $62.11^{\circ}$ and then, the refractive index is 1.8895 by using He-Ne Laser. Also the refractive distribution of c-plate GMO was obtained with $400{\mu}m{\times}120{\mu}m$.

A poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) cube specimen is subjected to impulse-type compressive stress with increasing magnitude in parallel to the poling direction at four room and high temperatures. During the ferroelastic domain switching induced by the compressive stress, electric displacement in the poling direction and longitudinal and transverse strains are measured. Using the measured responses, linear material properties, namely, the piezoelectric and elastic compliance coefficients, are evaluated by a graphical method, and the effects of stress and temperature are analyzed. Finally, the dependency of the evaluated linear material properties on relative remnant polarization is analyzed and discussed.

When a ferroelastic domain of ${\beta}-Tb_2(MoO_4)_3$ single crystal is switched from $S_k$ state to $S_p$ state by external force, the formulae that can calculate relativistic displacement of the lattice point and distribution of ferroelastic switching force were derived by this study. The formulae that can calculate threshold switching force in any direction were derived from the conservation law of enthalpy and measured value of threshold switching force in specific direction. Theoretical values of threshold switching force were in accord with measured values at (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=15^{\circ}$), (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=30^{\circ}$), (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=45^{\circ}$), (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=60^{\circ}$), (${\theta}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=75^{\circ}$).

Phase transitions of the $Sm_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$ single crystal were studied through thermal analysis, x-ray methods and SEM/EDS. $Sm_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$ undergoes the ferroelastic and ferroelectric phase transition at $198^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperature, the second phase transition occurs at $928^{\circ}C$. From TG analysis, the mass loss of $Sm_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$ exhibits an anomalous behavior at about $650^{\circ}C$ and the curves increased monotonically to $1132^{\circ}C$. SEM and EDS show that the escape of ${MoO_{4}^{2-}$ tetrahedra from the lattice of $Sm_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$ increase above $928^{\circ}C$, so $Sm_{2}(MoO_{4})_{3}$ has a very rough surface and internal cracks.

The single crystal of $KMgCl_3$ was grown in Ar atmosphere by Czochralski method for the first time. For the stoichiometric composition, $K_2MgCl_4$ crystal was obtained, and the nonstoichiometric method was used for the $KMgCl_3$ crystal growth. The phase transition sequences of $KMgCl_3$ were investigated by the DTA, DSC and the ferroelastic properties by using the high temperature polarizing microscope and the thermomechanical system. The temperature dependences of the ferroelastic domains and the spontaneous strain obtained from the stress-strain hysteresis loops were analyzed.

Microstructural characteristics of the Complex Perovskite (1-x) $(Li_{1/2}Sm_{1/2})TiO_3-x (Na_{1/2}Sm_{1/2})TiO_3$ (LNST) system have been investigated using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When $0.0{\leq}x{\leq}0.6$, the vacancy ordering forming the 1/2 (001) superlattice reflections due to the A-site cation deficiencies has apperaed. It could be confirmed by presence of ABPs. But it was difficult to form the vacancy ordering since vacancy concentration gradually lowered as the amount of the substituted Li ions decrease. Antiphase boundaries (APBs) were presented in microstructures of LNST when $0.8{\leq}x{\leq}1.0$. It was considered that these boundaries were caused by the 1:1 chemical ordering of A-site cations, Na and Sm ions. LNST had not only the antiphase tilting of oxygen octahedron but also the inphase tilting of oxygen octahedron and the antiparallel shift of cations all of them. It could be confirmed by presence of ferroelastic domains

Ferroelectric properties are governed by domain structures and domain wall motions, so it is of significance to understand domain evolution processes under mechanical stress. In the present study, in situ piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) observation under compressive stress was carried out for a near-morphotropic PZT. Both $180^{\circ}$ and $non-180^{\circ}$ domain structures were observed from PFM images, and their habit planes were identified using electron backscatter diffraction in conjunction with PFM data. By externally applied mechanical stress, needle-like $non-180^{\circ}$ domain patterns were broadened via domain wall motions. This was interpreted via phenomenological approach such that the total energy minimization can be achieved by domain wall motion rather than domain nucleation mainly due to the local gradient energy. Meanwhile, no motion was observed from curvy $180^{\circ}$ domain walls under the mechanical stress, validating that $180^{\circ}$ domain walls are not directly influenced by mechanical stress.
