Minimizing electrostatic interactions from piezoresponse force microscopy via capacitive excitation
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2020 Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) has emerged as one of the most powerful techniques to probe ferroelectric materials at the nanoscale, yet it has been increasingly recognized that piezoresponse measured by PFM is often influenced by electrostatic ...

Measurement of contact potential difference and material distribution by using an SEFM
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2014 This paper presents a method for the measurement of the contact potential difference (CPD) and material distribution on the sample surface by using a scanning electrostatic force microscope (SEFM). In SEFM, the surface profile is evaluated by applying an
