We report 90 degrees polarization switching in a BaTiO3 crystal without domain wall (DW) motion by prefabricating samples with interlocking domains via compression. During electric re-poling of the depoled and aged crystals, 90 degrees domain nucleation still exists, but 90 degrees DW motion is inhibited by the strong constraints from surrounding domains, leading to DW-free 90 degrees polarization switching. The measured coercive field of 500 V/mm for the DW-free 90 degrees switching is close to the intrinsic values and much larger than that of 80 V/mm via 90 degrees DW motion. Compared to the rather difficult domain-free 180 degrees polarization switching in ultrathin films, 90 degrees DW-free switching is easier. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
