Visualization and manipulation of meta-stable polarization variants in multiferroic materials

Here we demonstrate the role of meta-stable polarization variants in out-of-plane polarization switching behavior in epitaxially grown BiFeO3 thin films using angle-resolved piezoresponse force microscopy (AR-PFM). The out-of-plane polarization switching mainly occurred at the boundary between meta-...
