摘要
We describe theoretical and experimental studies for nano-scale ferroelectric domain measurements using scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM). We calculate one-dimensional images of a 180 degrees c-e domain boundary and show that SNDM has an atomic-scale resolution theoretically. Experimental results show that we measure the c-e domain on the lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin film with the width of 1.5 nm and that the resolution of the microscope is less than 0.5 nm.
