摘要: We report results on the direct observation of microscopic origins backswitching in ferroelectric thin films. The piezoelectric response generated film by a biased atomic force microscope tip was used to obtain static and dynamic images individual grains polycrystalline material. demonstrate that polarization reversal occurs under no external field (i.e., loss remanent polarization) via dispersive continuous-time random walk process, identified stretched exponential decay polarization.
