Giant flexoelectric effect in ferroelectric epitaxial thin films.
We report on nanoscale strain gradients in ferroelectric HoMnO(3) epitaxial thin films, resulting in a giant flexoelectric effect. Using grazing-incidence in-plane x-ray diffraction, we measured strain gradients in the films, which were 6 or 7 orders of magnitude larger than typical values reported for bulk oxides. The combination of transmission electron microscopy, electrical measurements, an...
متن کاملFlexoelectric rotation of polarization in ferroelectric thin films.
Strain engineering enables modification of the properties of thin films using the stress from the substrates on which they are grown. Strain may be relaxed, however, and this can also modify the properties thanks to the coupling between strain gradient and polarization known as flexoelectricity. Here we have studied the strain distribution inside epitaxial films of the archetypal ferroelectric ...
متن کاملDomain wall roughness in epitaxial ferroelectric PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 thin films.
The static configuration of ferroelectric domain walls was investigated using atomic force microscopy on epitaxial PbZr(0.2)Ti(0.8)O(3) thin films. Measurements of domain wall roughness reveal a power-law growth of the correlation function of relative displacements B(L) alpha L(2zeta) with zeta approximately 0.26 at short length scales L, followed by an apparent saturation at large L. In the sa...
متن کاملImaging three-dimensional polarization in epitaxial polydomain ferroelectric thin films
Voltage-modulated scanning force microscopy ~Piezoresponse microscopy! is applied to investigate the domain structure in epitaxial PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 ferroelectric thin films grown on ~001! SrTiO3. By monitoring the vertical and lateral differential signals from the photodetector of the atomic force microscope it is possible to separate out and observe the out-of-plane and in-plane polarization vec...
متن کاملPflYSICA Electric field effect on epitaxial YBa2Cu3OT.xthin films
By applying a strong electric field perpendicular to the surface of an ultrathin, highly uniform epitaxial YBa2Cu3OT. x film, the critical current was depressed and enhanced over 20 % at temperatures close to To, and 5% at lower temperatures. Careful analysis of the electric field dependent I-V characteristics and Arrhenius plots indicate that the electric field effect can be interpreted as a c...
