摘要:

在电场诱导的极化开关过程中监测铁电薄膜中的结构变化对于全面微观地理解电荷、原子和畴壁的耦合运动是重要的。我们结合标准的铁电测试周期与时间分辨的x射线衍射,研究纳米级铁电氧化物电容器的充电,放电和开关时的响应。压电应变在电子RC时间常数期间以及在结构域壁蠕变期间发展。铁电极化反转过程中复杂的原子运动始于对电压脉冲触发的电荷流的负压电响应。不完全筛分限制了压缩应变。单位晶胞的压电调制调整两个极化状态之间的能垒。畴壁运动是由布拉格反射的面内分量的加宽证明的。在工作装置上的这种同时测量阐明和可视化电荷流和结构运动的复杂相互作用,并挑战理论建模。

英文摘要:

Monitoring structural changes in ferroelectric thin films during electric field-induced polarization switching is important for a full microscopic understanding of the coupled motion of charges, atoms and domain walls. We combine standard ferroelectric test-cycles with time-resolved x-ray diffraction to investigate the response of a nanoscale ferroelectric oxide capacitor upon charging, discharging and switching. Piezoelectric strain develops during the electronic RC time constant and additionally during structural domain-wall creep. The complex atomic motion during ferroelectric polarization reversal starts with a negative piezoelectric response to the charge flow triggered by voltage pulses. Incomplete screening limits the compressive strain. The piezoelectric modulation of the unit cell tweaks the energy barrier between the two polarization states. Domain wall motion is evidenced by a broadening of the in-plane components of Bragg reflections. Such simultaneous measurements on a working device elucidate and visualize the complex interplay of charge flow and structural motion and challenges theoretical modelling.
