AbstractPolarisation domain structure is a microstructure specific to ferroelectrics and plays a role in their various fascinating characteristics. The piezoelectric properties of ferroelectrics are influenced by the domain wall contribution. This study provides a direct observation of the contribution of domain walls to the direct piezoelectric response of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) films, which have been widely studied as lead-free piezoelectrics. To achieve this purpose, we developed a scanning probe microscopy-based measurement technique, termed direct piezoelectric response microscopy (DPRM), to observe the domain structure of BiFeO3 films via the direct piezoelectric response. Quantitative analysis of the direct piezoelectric response obtained by DPRM, detailed analysis of the domain structure by conventional piezoelectric force microscopy, and microscopic characterisation of the direct piezoelectric properties of BiFeO3 films with different domain structures revealed that their direct piezoelectric response is enhanced by the walls between the domains of spontaneous polarisation in the same out-of-plane direction.

Ferroelectric nanowires have attracted great attention due to their excellent physical properties. We report the domain structure, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and conductive properties of bismuth ferrite (BFO, short for BiFeO3) nanowires characterized by scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern presents single phase BFO without other obvious impurities. The piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) results indicate that the nanowires possess a multidomain configuration, and the maximum piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of single BFO nanowire is 22.21 pm/V. Poling experiments and local switching spectroscopy piezoresponse force microscopy (SS-PFM) demonstrate that there is sufficient polarization switching behavior and obvious piezoelectric properties in BFO nanowires. The conducting atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) results show that the current is just hundreds of pA at 8 V. These lay the foundation for the application of BFO nanowires in nanodevices.
