High-resolution imaging of gigahertz polarization response arising from the interference of reflected surface acoustic waves

Abstract: The surface polarization caused by traveling SAWs at 1.585 GHz has been imaged using a dynamic homodyne electrostatic force microscope technique. Instead of measuring topographic changes caused by the SAW, the reported technique measures polarization in the piezoelectric substrate arising from mechanical stress caused by the SAW. The polarization associated with this stress field modulates the scanning probe cantilever deflection amplitude, which is extracted using a lock-in-based technique. High-resolution im… Show more

“…By using this exact model, we are able to assess the dynamic properties of the propagating WP and easily include electronelectron interaction or time-dependent potentials in the simulations. As an example, the exact inclusion of time-dependent potentials finds an important application in the numerical simulation of electron-transport sustained by surface acoustic waves (SAW) [90,91,92,93], which is another highly efficient on-demand protocol to control single-electrons transport in semiconductors [94].…”

“…Scanning laser interferometry, for example, images the out-of-plane displacement fields 12,13 with sub-picometer sensitivity and a diffraction-limited lateral resolution around 1 m. The spatial resolution of surface displacement fields can be improved to ~ 20 nm in scanning acoustic force microscopy (SAFM), which detects the nonlinear mixing of two slightly detuned SAWs through a cantilever probe at the difference frequency [14][15][16] . The sub-nm SAW amplitude has also been visualized by stroboscopic X-ray imaging 17,18 .…”
