Ultrathin ferroelectric Langmuir–Blodgett films are studied using an electrostatic force microscope (EFM). The films were deposited by a subsequent transfer of monolayers of a ferroelectric polymer from the water surface onto Si substrates covered with Al electrodes. A film was switched locally by a voltage applied between a tip and the Al electrode. The dynamics of the electric field relief above a switched ferroelectric domain is studied by EFM imaging with simultaneous control of the topographic relief. In order to explain an image contrast a simple model for a thin ferroelectric film is discussed which takes into account the remanent polarization of the film, the surface charge, and interface work functions.Ultrathin ferroelectric Langmuir–Blodgett films are studied using an electrostatic force microscope (EFM).
