The effect of dynamical scattering in ferroelectrics on the measurements of internal electric fields by momentum-resolvedSTEM — •Achim Strauch1,2, Andreas Rosenauer3, Andrei Sokolov4, Evgeny Tsymbal4, and Knut Müller-Caspary1,2 — 1Forschungszentrum Jülich — 2RWTH Aachen University — 3IFP Universität Bremen — 4University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) are one focus of next-generation memories. With these non-volatile memories, the energy consumption can be reduced. Devices with BaTiO3 tunnel junctions cannot be reversibly polarised at ferroelectric thickness below approximately 3 nm [1].
For investigations, a STEM method would be desirable to map the ferroelectric domain structure in ferroelectric nanofilms exploiting the recently accessible four-dimensional data sets from momentum-resolved STEM [2].
In this contribution, we address the impact of systematic errors arising from dynamical scattering, violated inversion symmetry, sample tilt, and redistributions of electrons due to chemical bonding in a simulation study accompanied by experiments on BaTiO3 and PbZrxTi1−xO3.
The effects of dynamical scattering can lead, depending on thickness, to a systematic error [3] in the order of the expected unit-cell averaged electric fields.
Finally the influence of surfaces charges will be discussed.
