We can exclude the possibility where an increase of the number of the walls results in a decrease of the permittivity due to a more efficient piezoelectric clamping in smaller domains because the frequency of a possible one-domain piezoelectric resonance is expected to be much higher (>1GHz) than the frequency (5 kHz) used in this work.
