Surface Morphology Induced Localized Electric Field and Piezoresponse Enhancement in Nanostructured Thin Films
Nanostructured piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films are being increasingly used in sensing and actuating microdevices. In this work, we report the experimental discovery of localized electric field enhancement in nanocolumnar piezoelectric thin films and its significant impact on piezoresponse. The magnitude of electric field enhancement is associated with nonflat surface morphologies and is in agreement with theoretical and finite element models. The influence of this surface morphology induced enhancement on piezoresponse is demonstrated using phase field simulations, which also illustrates surface morphology induced strain enhancement. The observed enhancement can be effectively harnessed to improve the sensitivity of related piezoelectric thin film applications
