Abstract
ABSTRACT A novel probe technique, low frequency scanning probe acoustic microscope, was firstly developed based on the commercial atomic force microscope. The excitation frequency is in the range of several kHz up to teen-kHz, which is much lower than that in the conventional acoustic microscopes. The acoustic images of nanoscale domain structures in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-33%PbTiO3 single crystals were successfully visualized. Different electric polarizations show the variation of the elasticity in ferroelectrics, so the contrast of the acoustic images reflects the domain structure or the subsurface elasticity. In addition, the elasticity of the sample in response to the modulation of the excitation source is also discussed.
