Local and correlated studies of humidity-mediated ferroelectric thin film surface charge dynamics

Abstract Electrochemical phenomena in ferroelectrics are of particular interest for catalysis and sensing applications, with recent studies highlighting the combined role of the ferroelectric polarisation, applied surface voltage and overall switching history. Here, we present a systematic Kelvin pr...
