Abstract

We perform percolation analysis of crossed-polarizer transmission images in a biased nanodisordered bulk KTN:Li perovskite. Two distinct percolative transitions are identified at two electric field thresholds. The low-field transition involves a directional fractal chain of dimension D=1.65, while the high-field transition has a dimension D>2. Direct cluster imaging in the volume is achieved using high-resolution orthographic 3D projections based on giant refraction. Percolation is attributed to a full-3D domain reorientation that mediates the transition from a ferroelectric supercrystal state to a disordered domain mosaic.
