摘要: Single-frequency piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) images of a BiFeO3/DyScO3(110) thin film, obtained with long (kc = 0.82 N/m) and short (kc = 7.64 N/m) cantilevers, were analyzed as function the applied voltage frequency. For electrostatic electrostrictive contributions identified. These reduced frequency near second mode contact resonance; while for first was necessary. A method domain structure analyses, to discriminate ferroelectric behavior from non-ferroelectric, through optimization PFM images, is also described. The analysis can be extended cantilevers different spring constants materials.
