Within signal-rich reciprocal-space images, features related to (i) local deformation due to chemical inhomogeneity, (ii) incommensurate modulation and (iii) fluctuation of polarization have been identified. There are substantial differences between the two compositions, some of which can be straightforwardly attributed to different states of ferroelectric ordering in these materials. In the Sr-rich composition, we have observed additional features in the form of ⟨110⟩-oriented streaks on hk(n/2) planes. They indicate that transverse correlation of uniaxial polarization is anisotropic. At the same time, the fact that streaks appear also on the superlattice planes raises the question whether the modulation and polarization order parameter are interrelated.
