We present time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiments on the ferroelectric switching of Lead-Titanate films with a thickness of 150 nm.
The Bragg peak position directly measures the piezoelectric strain during the switching process, while the peak width derived from reciprocal space maps yields a detailed picture of the domain wall propagation dynamics. The scattering intensity yields the structure factor of the unit cells, which is a direct measure of the poling process.
We discuss how the switching speed can be increased from nanosecond to several picoseconds.
