摘要: Ferroelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) nanodots were prepared on two substrate types, a Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) and highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), using elaborately controllable dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) technology. The lateral dimension thickness of the formed BFO exhibited dependency, resulting in higher aspect ratio with smaller hydrophobic HOPG than that Nb:STO substrate. Based piezoelectric force microscope (PFM) measurements, superior ferroelectricity d33 hysteresis loop was demonstrated by significant reduction clamping effect, compared to Nb:STO.
