摘要
Three-dimensional (3D) piezoresponse force microscopy is applied in order to differentiate 90 degrees and 180 degrees domain switching in PbTiO3 (PTO) thin films. The 3D domain configuration is recorded both statically, revealing the surface crystallographic orientation of PTO films on the nanometer scale, and dynamically by simultaneously mapping the in-plane and out-of-plane hysteresis loops. We show that exclusively 180 degrees switching occurs, also switching only half of the grain volume. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)04647-7].
