Domain wall roughness in stripe phase BiFeO3 thin films.
Using the model system of ferroelectric domain walls, we explore the effects of long-range dipolar interactions and periodic ordering on the behavior of pinned elastic interfaces. In piezoresponse force microscopy studies of the characteristic roughening of intrinsic 71° stripe domains in BiFeO3 thin films, we find unexpectedly high values of the roughness exponent ζ=0.74±0.10, significantly di...
متن کاملHigh resolution electromechanical imaging of ferroelectric materials in a liquid environment by piezoresponse force microscopy.
High-resolution imaging of ferroelectric materials using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is demonstrated in an aqueous environment. The elimination of both long-range electrostatic forces and capillary interactions results in a localization of the ac field to the tip-surface junction and allows the tip-surface contact area to be controlled. This approach results in spatial resolutions appr...
متن کاملStudying the Polarization Switching in Polycrystalline BiFeO3 Films by 2D Piezoresponse Force Microscopy
For rhombohedral multiferroelectrics, non-180° ferroelectric domain switching may induce ferroelastic and/or (anti-)ferromagnetic effect. So the determination and control of ferroelectric domain switching angles is crucial for nonvolatile information storage and exchange-coupled magnetoelectric devices. We try to study the intrinsic characters of polarization switching in BiFeO3 by introducing ...
متن کاملSuppression of creep-regime dynamics in epitaxial ferroelectric BiFeO3 films
Switching dynamics of ferroelectric materials are governed by the response of domain walls to applied electric field. In epitaxial ferroelectric films, thermally-activated 'creep' motion plays a significant role in domain wall dynamics, and accordingly, detailed understanding of the system's switching properties requires that this creep motion be taken into account. Despite this importance, few...
متن کاملNanometer resolution piezoresponse force microscopy to study deep submicron ferroelectric and ferroelastic domains
Understanding ferroelectricity at the deep submicron regime is desirable in utilizing it for next generation nonvolatile memory devices, medical imaging systems, and rf filters. Here we show how piezoresponse force microscopy can be enhanced 1 nm resolution . Using this method, we have investigated ferroelectric and ferroelastic domains at the deep submicron regime in polycrystalline lead zirco...
