Abstract

Piezoresponse force microscopy is demonstrated at temperatures between −80 °C and +120 °C using a commercial room temperature atomic force microscope upgraded with a home-built cooling/heating-stage. We applied temperature-ramp-synchronized piezoresponse force microscope (PFM) for tracing the temperature dependence of the formation of ferroelectric domains. The potential of our sub-room temperature PFM is demonstrated by investigating the formation and evolution of ferroelectric domains in RbHSO4 as a function of temperature and time, respectively.
