Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Science & Technology
We report on the controlled local switching and imaging of local ferroelectric polarizations oriented perpendicular to the long axis of a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nanotube. Piezoresponse force microscopy and ferroelectric piezoelectric hysteresis data indicate stable polarizations oriented along the radial, finite-thickness direction can be formed in a nanoshell geometry. The results of infrared spectroscopy and of the character of as-found polarizations are consistent with recent findings linking surface chemical environment to ferroelectric stability and to orientation of ferroelectric polarizations.
