Résumé

Owing to their switchable spontaneous polarization, ferroelectric materials have been applied in various fields, such as information technologies, actuators, and sensors. In the last decade, as the characteristic sizes of both devices and materials have decreased significantly below the nanoscale, the development of appropriate characterization tools became essential. Recently, a technique based on conductive atomic force microscopy (AFM), called AFM-positive-up-negative-down (PUND), is employed for the direct measurement of ferroelectric polarization under the AFM tip. However, the main limitation of AFM-PUND is the low frequency (i.e., on the order of a few hertz) that is used to initiate ferroelectric hysteresis. A significantly higher frequency is required to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and the measurement efficiency. In this study, a novel method based on high-frequency AFM-PUND using continuous waveform and simultaneous signal acquisition of the switching current is presented, in which polarization-voltage hysteresis loops are obtained on a high-polarization BiFeO
