Abstract
We have studied the evolution of the domain structure of LiNbO3:ZnO crystals during high-temperature annealing. The results demonstrate that the thermal decomposition of polar clusters that stabilize domain walls in LiNbO3:ZnO crystals initiates a jumplike carrier injection and an increase in electrical conductivity, leading to domain structure breakdown.
