Abstract

Detailed techniques for the construction of low (4-300 K) and high (300-700 K) temperature unaxial stress application devices are described, designed for studying stress-induced effects, including ferroelastic (/ferroelectric) detwinning, induced phase transitions, piezo-optical effects in ferroic crystals under in situ optical control of their domain states by means of polarized light microscopy. Examples of the successful application of these systems to YBa2Cu3O7-δ, K3Fe5F15, and Cr3B7O13Cl crystals are presented and discussed.
