Piezoresponse force microscopy

Piezoresponse force microscopy (pfm) [11] and Kelvin probe force microscopy (kpfm) [9] were applied to deduce the polarization and local electric potential distribution over the whole cross section of the pzt sample (see Figure 12.3 and Figure 12.4) under static conditions as well as after switching. The details of our setup are described elsewhere [9,11],...

ZnO nanobelts were also considered for applications as nanosensors and tianoac-tuators. The piezoelectric coefficient of a ZnO nanobelt was measured using AFM with a conductive tip [54]. For this purpose, ZnO nanobelts were dispersed on a (10 0) Si wafer coated with Pd. The nanobelts were then coated with 5 nm layer of Pd. It was ensured that the top and bottom surfaces of the nanobelts were not shorteffective piezoelectric coefficient d33 for the (0001) surface of the nanobelts was measured by piezoresponse force microscopy. The d33 coefficient was found to vary from 26.7 to 14.3 pm with increasing frequency from 30 to 150 kHz. These...
