Popis: The abnormal domain kinetics in congruent lithium niobate single crystals caused by surface modification using proton exchange was studied experimentally. The dependence of domain kinetics on polarity of the growing domains at the surface with proton exchange was revealed. The abnormal smooth motion of irregularly shaped domain walls with finger-like features and correlated nucleation was observed for growth of domains with Z + at surface with proton exchange. Such behavior drastically differs from jump-like motion of plane domain walls oriented along Y directions observed both in conventional lithium niobate and for growth of domains with Z – at surface with proton exchange.
