Titel
Nanoscale imaging of elastic and piezoelectric properties of nanocrystalline lead calcium titanate
Abstract
In this study the influence of the annealing conditions on the surface morphology and the elastic and piezoelectric properties of thin-film lead calcium titanate samples were investigated with enhanced atomic force microscopy techniques like tapping mode, atomic force acoustic microscopy and ultrasonic piezo-mode. The morphology of the thin-films can serve as an indicator of their properties, whether they are in an amorphous, polycrystalline and/or nanocrystalline state proving the imaging capability of dynamic force microscopy techniques.
