Identifying intrinsic ferroelectricity of thin film with piezoresponse force microscopy

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is a powerful technique to characterize ferroelectric thin films by measuring the dynamic electromechanical response. The ferroelectricity is commonly demonstrated by the PFM hysteresis loops and a 180o phase difference of PFM images before and after poling. Such...
