In finely layered ferroelectric superlattices, the polarization domain
configuration is determined by a complex interplay of strain, electrostatics
and other local distortions of the crystal lattice. Here I will discuss a
number of experimental works we have performed to try to better understand
these effects and harness them to produce more effective functionality in
ferroelectric devices. A particular emphasis is on the development of domain
structure during the growth of our artificially layered structures, which we
have studied using in-situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction.
