Subcritical switching dynamics and humidity effects in nanoscale studies of domain growth in ferroelectric thin films

Cédric Blaser, Patrycja Paruch

Ferroelectric domain switching in c-axis-oriented epitaxial Pb(Zr${}_{0.2}$Ti${}_{0.8}$)O${}_3$ thin films was studied using biased scanning probe microscopy tips. While linear and logar…
