摘要
Scanning force microscopy (SFM) has been used to probe the local polarization state and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric films. The conductive SFM tip was employed as a movable top electrode to detect the piezoresponse in the film induced by an ac voltage, Our measurements reveal a spatial dependence of the piezoelectric properties of individual grains of virgin ferroelectric films. A maximum effective piezoelectric coefficient of 5.5 pm/V has been detected in the lead-free CaBi(14)Ti(14)Oj(15) film.
