Characterization and Control of Domain Structure in SrBi2Ta2O9 Thin Films by Scanning Force Microscopy
We used the piezoresponse mode of scanning force microscopy (SFM) to perform the first nanoscale observation of ferroelectric domain structure in as-grown SrBi2Ta2O9 films. By lowering the loading force down to approximately 1 nN and by keeping the imaging voltage just below the coercive voltage, we managed to obtain a sufficiently high contrast between opposite 180◦ domains without affecting t...
متن کاملTuning of the depolarization field and nanodomain structure in ferroelectric thin films.
The screening efficiency of a metal-ferroelectric interface plays a critical role in determining the polarization stability and hence the functional properties of ferroelectric thin films. Imperfect screening leads to strong depolarization fields that reduce the spontaneous polarization or drive the formation of ferroelectric domains. We demonstrate that by modifying the screening at the metal-...
متن کاملContrast Mechanism for Visualization of Ferroelectric Domains with Scanning Force Microscopy
Scanning force microscopy is an ideal technique for non-destructive investigation of ferroelectric domains. Application of such domains for efficient optical frequency conversion and for ultrahigh-density data storage requires μm to nm-sized domain structures. Thus the high lateral resolution offered by scanning force microscopy is highly desired. However, the mechanism causing the domain contr...
متن کاملImaging and Control of Domain Structures in Ferroelectric Thin Films via Scanning Force Microscopy1
Scanning force microscopy (SFM) is becoming a powerful technique with great potential both for imaging and for control of domain structures in ferroelectric materials at the nanometer scale. Application of SFM to visualization of domain structures in ferroelectric thin films is described. Imaging methods of ferroelectric domains are based on the detection of surface charges in the noncontact mo...
متن کاملMechanical force involved multiple fields switching of both local ferroelectric and magnetic domain in a Bi5Ti3FeO15 thin film
Multiferroics have received intense attention due to their great application potential in multi-state information storage devices and new types of sensors. Coupling among ferroic orders such as ferroelectricity, (anti-)ferromagnetism, ferroelasticity and so on will enable dynamic interaction between these ordering parameters. Direct visualization of such coupling behavior in singlephase multife...
