The presence of 180° ferroelectric domains in polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films has been observed with the aid of transmission electron microscopy. The 180° domain boundary exhibited a curved appearance, and its orientational relationship was demonstrated. It was found that equiaxial grains did not have 180° domain boundaries due to their higher boundary energy. The grain size effect on dielectric constant of polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films was also discussed in conjunction with 180° ferroelectric domains.
