Modelling and experimental verification of tip-induced polarization in Kelvin probe force microscopy measurements on dielectric surfaces [PDF]
Kelvin probe force microscopy is a widely used technique for measuring surface potential distributions on the micro- and nanometer scale. The data are, however, often analyzed qualitatively, especially for dielectrics.

Analysis of multi-center topological domain states in BiFeO3 nanodot arrays
High-density ferroelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) nanodot arrays were developed through template-assisted tailoring of epitaxial thin films. By combining piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) imaging techniques, we found ...
