Piezo response force microscopy (PFM)

Characterization of the nanoscale mechanical and electrical properties of piezoelectric materials

Piezoelectric material is a kind of response happens under applied electric field and mechanical deformation of the material.Piezoelectric response material has a variety of performance from the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) into the field of the biological sensors are widely used.

Ferroelectric material is a kind of piezoelectric material has very good features.Following the development of the process control and small batch manufacturing of ferroelectric materials is becoming more and more common, the researchers found that these materials physical properties change with the narrowing of the scale.Based on theContact mode, piezo response force microscopy (PFM) piezoelectric response of material which can realize high resolution characterization and nanoscale topography imaging.With the help of brooke NanoMan and NanoPlot packages, the user can also use PFMNanoscale etching.

Lithium niobate thin film domain wall near the tiny flaw, the PFM experiment is clearly visible in the amplitude of the signal.

We are very excited, our recent nature communications, with 2 d material pressure electric microscope (PFM).This is in the past two years by our dimension of ICONS enable MNRF 20 is the latest in a number of publications.The articles published in famous journals, including science, natural transmission, advanced materials, ACS nano, etc.I believe MNRF constantly get good data from the system, partly because of its flexible electrical model, stability and ease of use and impressive PeakForce click.When required, brooke's support is very good.
