Piezoelectric Force Microscopy (PFM)
Our patented PFM mode accurately measures electric domain structures such as polarity in ferroelectric or piezoelectric samples. This mode includes independent control of an applied AC and DC bias, and local amplitude/phase vs. DC bias spectroscopy.
Specifications :
AC bias frequency: 0 - 100 kHz
Phase resolution: 0.005°
DC Bias: - 10 - +10 V (-2kv - +2kV, optional)
*US Patent No : 6185991
