Electrostatic-free piezoresponse force microscopy. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractContact and non-contact based atomic force microscopy (AFM) approaches have been extensively utilized to explore various nanoscale surface properties. In most AFM-based measurements, a concurrent electrostatic effect between the AFM tip/cantilever and sample surface can occur. This electrostatic effect often hinders accurate measurements. Thus,

Non-piezoelectric effects in piezoresponse force microscopy [PDF]
Current Applied Physics, 2017 Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) has been used extensively for exploring nanoscale ferro/piezoelectric phenomena over the past two decades. The imaging mechanism of PFM is based on the detection of the electromechanical (EM) response induced by the inverse piezoelectric effect through the cantilever dynamics of an atomic force microscopy.

Full information acquisition in piezoresponse force microscopy
Applied Physics Letters, 2015 The information flow from the tip-surface junction to the detector electronics during the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) imaging is explored using the recently developed general mode (G-mode) detection. Information-theory analysis suggests that G-mode PFM in the non-switching regime, close to the first resonance mode, contains a relatively small (
