Sub-nA spatially resolved conductivity profiling of surface and interface defects in ceria films

Spatial variability of conductivity in ceria is explored using scanning probe microscopy with galvanostatic control. Ionically blocking electrodes are used to probe the conductivity under opposite polarities to reveal possible differences in the defect structure across a thin film of Ce...
