Thermodynamics of nanodomain formation and breakdown in Scanning Probe Microscopy: Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach
Anna N. Morozovska, Eugene A. Eliseev, Sergei V. Svechnikov +2
Thermodynamics of tip-induced nanodomain formation in scanning probe microscopy of ferroelectric films and crystals is studied using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire phenomenological…
Spatially Resolved Mapping of Local Polarization Dynamics in an Ergodic Phase of Ferroelectric Relaxor
S. V. Kalinin, B. J. Rodriguez, J. D. Budai +4
Spatial variability of polarization relaxation kinetics in relaxor ferroelectric 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.1PbTiO3 is studied using time-resolved Piezoresponse Force Microscopy. Local…
The Interaction of an 180 degree Ferroelectric Domain Wall with a Biased Scanning Probe Microscopy Tip: Effective Wall Geometry and Thermodynamics in Ginzburg-Landau-Devonshire Theory
Anna N. Morozovska, Sergei V. Kalinin, Eugene A. Eliseev +2
The interaction of ferroelectric 180 degree domain wall with a strongly inhomogeneous electric field of biased Scanning Probe Microscope tip is analyzed within continuous Landau-Gi…
Threshold fields for antiparallel ferroelectric domain wall motion
Samrat Choudhury, Yulan Li, Nozomi Odagawa +10
While an ideal antiparallel ferroelectric wall is considered a unit cell in width (~0.5nm), we show using phase field modeling that the threshold field for moving this wall dramati…
Domain Dynamics in Piezoresponse Force Microscopy: Quantitative Deconvolution and Hysteresis Loop Fine Structure
I. Bdikin, A. Kholkin, A. N. Morozovska +3
Domain dynamics in the Piezoresponse Force Spectroscopy (PFS) experiment is studied using the combination of local hysteresis loop acquisition with simultaneous domain imaging. The…
Quantitative piezoelectric force microscopy: Influence of tip shape, size, and contact geometry on the nanoscale resolution of an antiparallel ferroelectric domain wall
Lili Tian, Aravind Vasudevarao, Anna N. Morozovska +3
The structure of a single antiparallel ferroelectric domain wall in LiNbO3 is quantitatively mapped by piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) with calibrated probe geometry. The PFM…
Probing the role of single defects on the thermodynamics of electric-field induced phase transitions
S. V. Kalinin, S. Jesse, B. J. Rodriguez +4
The kinetics and thermodynamics of first order transitions is universally controlled by defects that act as nucleation sites and pinning centers. Here we demonstrate that defect-do…
Effect of the Intrinsic Width on the Piezoelectric Force Microscopy of a Single Ferroelectric Domain Wall
Anna N. Morozovska, Eugene A. Eliseev, George S. Svechnikov +2
Intrinsic domain wall width is a fundamental parameter that reflects bulk ferroelectric properties and governs the performance of ferroelectric memory devices. We present closed-fo…
Imaging Mechanism of Piezoresponse Force Microscopy in Capacitor Structures
Sergei V. Kalinin, Brian J. Rodriguez, Seung-Hyun Kim +3
The image formation mechanism in Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) of capacitor structures is analyzed. We demonstrate that the spatial resolution is a bilinear function of film…
