Piezoelectric property of PZT nanofibers characterized by resonant piezo-force microscopy
Abstract
Nano-piezoelectric materials have drawn tremendous research interest. However, characterization of their piezoelectric properties, especially measuring the piezoelectric strain coefficients, remains a challenge. Normally, researchers use an AFM-based method to directly measure nano-materials’ piezoelectric strain coefficients. But, the extremely small piezoelectric deformation, the influence from the parasitic electrostatic force, and the environmental noise make the measurement results questionable. In this paper, a resonant piezo-force microscopy method was used to accurately measure the piezoelectric deformation from 1D piezoelectric nanofibers. During the experiment, the AFM tip was brought into contact with the piezoelectric sample and set to work at close to its first resonant frequency. A lock-in amplifier was used to pick up the sample’s deformation signal at the testing frequency. By using this technique, the piezoelectric strain constant d 33 of the Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) nanofiber with a diameter of 76 nm was measured. The result showed that d 33 of this PZT nanofiber was around 387 pm/V. Meanwhile, by tracking the piezoelectric deformation phase image, domain structures inside PZT nanofibers were identified.
