Controlling polarization dynamics in a liquid environment: from localized to macroscopic switching in ferroelectrics

The effect of disorder on polarization switching in ferroelectric materials is studied using piezoresponse force microscopy in a liquid environment. The spatial extent of the electric field created by a biased tip is controlled by the choice of medium, resulting in a transition from localized switch...
