Piezoresponse Force Microscopy
Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) is an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technique that allows for the visualisation and manipulation of electromechanical coupling at the nanoscale. This powerful mode is crucial for studying piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials, offering unprecedented insights into their structure, properties, and behaviour.
CSI
CSInstruments is a French scientific equipment manufacturer specialised in the conception of Atomic Force Microscope and options designed for existing AFM (Nano-Observer AFM, Resiscope™, High Voltage Amplifier, Magnetic modules). The product range proposed by CSInstruments is designed and manufactured to help the scientific community to achieve nanometre performances that meet the research needs and requirements for actual and future nanoscience applications.
CSInstruments was founded by a team of experts working in AFM field for more than 20 years, starting as pioneer with some historical manufacturers. CSInstruments activity is also based on a qualified and dynamic team, experienced in the fields of mechanics, electronics and data processing. This expertise ensures innovation and performance in the production of AFM and achieves an excellent price/performance ratio!
PFM operates by applying an alternating electric field to a sample through a conductive AFM tip. The sample's piezoelectric response causes tiny deformations, which are detected by the AFM system.
This allows for:
High-resolution mapping of piezoelectric domains
Quantitative measurements of local piezoelectric coefficients
In-situ polarisation switching studies
