Local poling at domain walls in LiNbO₃ crystals in connection with c-AFM measurements — •Jakob Frohnhaus and Elisabeth Soergel — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bonn, Wegelerstrasse 8, 53115 Bonn

An electrical current localized at ferroelectric domain walls recorded by means of conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM) can basically have two origins: electrical conductivity of the domain wall or local poling. We show that also local poling leads to c-AFM images which cannot straightforwardly be distinguished from those c-AFM images displaying the electrical conductivity of the domain wall.
