Abstract
A new optical probe method was developed by using electro-optic and piezoelectric effects and a phase sensitive detection to determine the polarization of domains in ferroelectric thin films. Ferroelectric domains within a region smaller than 1 μm were detected in annealed VDF(65)/TrFE(35) copolymer thin films. The switching dynamics of these individual domains were also investigated by using this method.Keywords
