For over 70 years, ferroelectric materials have been one of the central research topics for
condensed matter physics and material science, an interest driven both by fundamental …

In this article, scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM) with atomic resolution is
reviewed. First, experimental results on the detection of ferroelectric domains are shown …

We have developed scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM) that is the first
successful purely electrical method for observing polarization distributions of ferroelectric …

Contact-type scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM) can measure the distribution
of linear and nonlinear dielectric properties of insulators with sub-nanometre resolution …

A higher order nonlinear dielectric microscopy technique with higher lateral and depth
resolution than conventional nonlinear dielectric imaging is investigated. The proposed …

Piezoforce microscopy (PFM) has been used to determine the domain structure of lead
zirconate titanate (PZT)(30/70) on an indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass substrate with a TiO 2 …

Hydrothermal synthesis is an attractive method for the deposition of ferroelectric thin films
because it can realize a low processing temperature of 200° C or less. In this study, micron …

We extend our local capacitance-voltage profiling method for the real-space nanoscale
investigation of the SiO 2/SiC interface, which is still an issue in the application of SiC to …

Understanding the properties of SiO 2/SiC interfaces is one of the key issues related to the
development of SiC power devices. However, existing evaluation methods such as …

Scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy (SNDM) is the first successful purely electrical
method for observing the ferroelectric domain distributions. At present its resolution is of the …
