This detailed assessment called into question the previous identification of ferroelectric materials based solely on scanning probe microscopy (SPM). (sciencedaily.com)
Common examples of ferroelectric materials include transit cards and, more recently, memory chips. (sciencedaily.com)
Scientists have imaged and manipulated ferroelectric properties using a particular type of scanning probe microscopy called piezo - response force microscopy (PFM). (sciencedaily.com)
