Electrochemical strain microscopy with blocking electrodes: The role of electromigration and diffusion
Abstract
Electrochemical strains are a ubiquitous feature of solid state ionic devices ranging from ion batteries and fuel cells to electroresistive and memristive memories. We proposed a scanning probe microscopy (SPM) based approach, referred as electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM), for probing local ionic flows and electrochemical reactions in solids based on bias-strain coupling. In ESM, the sharp SPM tip concentrates the electric field in a small (10-50 nm) region of material, inducing interfacial electrochemical processes and ionic flows. Furthermore, we use the resultant electrochemical strains to determine it from dynamic surface displacement and provide information on local electrochemical functionality. We also analyze image formation mechanism in ESM for a special case of mixed electronic-ionic conductor with blocking tip electrode, and determine frequency dependence of response, role of diffusion and electromigration effects, and resolution and detection limits.
