In this work, ferroelastic domain walls inside BaTiO₃ (BTO) tetragonal nanocrystals are distinguished by Bragg peak position and studied with Bragg coherent x-ray diffraction imaging (BCDI). Convergence-related features of the BCDI method for strongly phased objects are reported. A ferroelastic domain wall inside a BTO crystal has been tracked and imaged across the tetragonal-cubic phase transition and proves to be reversible. The linear relationship of relative displacement between two twin domains with temperature is measured and shows a different slope for heating and cooling, while the tetragonality reproduces well over temperature changes in both directions. An edge dislocation is also observed and found to annihilate when heating the crystal close to the phase transition temperature.
