چکیده
General energy approaches have been applied to study the single-domain polarization reversal induced by the voltage-modulated Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in ferroelectric single crystals and thin films. Topographic analysis of energy surfaces in the subspace of domain dimensions is performed, and energy evolutions under an external bias are elucidated. This has let to successfully describe all stages of the AFM switching, including formations of a reversed domain, its growth in a bulk, domain contact instabilities near an electrode, and pure sidewise expansions in a film.

Multiferroic domain dynamics in strained strontium titanate.
Multiferroicity can be induced in strontium titanate by applying biaxial strain. Using optical second harmonic generation, we report a transition from 4/mmm to the ferroelectric mm2 phase, followed by a transition to a ferroelastic-ferroelectric mm2 phase in a strontium titanate thin film. Piezoelectric force microscopy is used to study ferroelectric domain switching. Second harmonic generation...
متن کاملFabrication of Diisopropylammonium Bromide Aligned Microcrystals with In-Plane Uniaxial Polarization
Textured arrays of ferroelectric microcrystals of diisopropylammonium bromide were grown from solution at room temperature onto silicon substrates and studied by means of x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, and piezoresponse force microscopy. The needleshaped crystals had dimensions of approximately 50 μm × 5 μm in the plane and were approximately 200 nm thick, wher...

Intermodulation atomic force microscopy (IMAFM) is a dynamic mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with two-tone excitation. The oscillating AFM cantilever in close proximity to a surface experiences the nonlinear tip-sample force which mixes the drive tones and generates new frequency components in the cantilever response known as intermodulation products (IMPs). We present a procedure for ext...

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2. We prove an analogue of Clifford’s theorem for coherent systems on C and some refinements using results of Re and Mercat.

We demonstrate how rate equations can be employed to find analytical expressions for the sequential tunneling current through a quantum dot as a function of the tunnel rates, for an arbitrary number of states involved. We apply this method at the one-to-two electron transition where the electron states are known exactly. By comparing the obtained expressions to experimental data, the tunnel rat...
