Notes:
Ferroelectrics are among the most advanced materials for non-volatile storageapplications. Their two thermodynamically equivalent groundstates of spontaneous polarization canbe toggled between by an external electric field. We present recent progress in the fabrication,registration, manipulation and characterization of nanoscale ferroelectrics. Chemical solutiondeposition is adapted to a pre-registration process by e-beam lithography to fabricate registeredferroelectric nanostructures below 100 nm width. A post-processing by chemical mechanicalpolishing either for embedded or free grains modifies the aspect ratio thus controlling the coercivefield distribution of nanoferroelectrics. We also discuss some very recent findings of the complexinteraction of field and piezoelectric tensor in a real piezoresponse force microscope. This methodrequires a comprehensive treatment of all contributions to tell apart extrinsic from intrinsic effects
