Abstract: This paper reports the results of investigations of dielectric properties, switching processes and the domain structure of niobium-containing barium titanate crystals. It was shown that an impurity of niobium Nb5+, whose ions replace Ti4+ and change the ionic composition of the lattice, is important for behavior of the domain structure of BaTiO3:Nb5+ crystals. At a change in temperature (0,3  K/c-1) a transformation of the domain structure occurs in the BaTiO3:Nb5+ crystals under the influence of the internal thermoelastic stresses ~0,7 MPa and the depolarizing fields ~20  kV/m.

Keywords: BaTiO3, unipolar crystals, polarization switching, ligand
