Differentiating Ferroelectric and Nonferroelectric Electromechanical Effects with Scanning Probe Microscopy
Differentiating Ferroelectric and Nonferroelectric Electromechanical Effects with Scanning Probe Microscopy is a scholarly work by Nina Balke, Petro Maksymovych, Stephen Jesse, Alexander Tselev, Ivan Kravchenko, Sergei V. Kalinin, Andreas Herklotz, and Pu Yu, published in 2015 in ''ACS Nano''. The main subjects of the publication include atomic force microscopy, materials science, piezoelectricity, nanotechnology, optoelectronics, Ferroelectric polymers, Piezoresponse force microscopy, hysteresis, and ferroelectricity. The authors will focus on similarities and differences in various PFM measurement characteristics to provide an experimental guideline to differentiate between ferroelectric material properties and charge injection.
