The electrochemical cell: Se|TGSesingle crystal |Se, with tri-glycine selenide as solid electrolyte was employed to observe the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition. The charge, which normally occurs on the surface of the ferroelectric crystal in the polar phase, is thus incorporated in the electrical double layer of the cell and can be precisely monitored. The pyroelectric currents can also be measured with this cell. The concentration changes on the surface of the single crystal after direct current polarization are observed.

Microscopy Techniques

Recently, there have been a number of variations of electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) that allow for the measurement of time-varying forces arising from phenomena such as ion transport in battery materials or charge separation in photovoltaic systems. These forces reveal information about dynamic processes happening over nanometer length scales due to the nanometer-sized probe tips used in atomic force microscopy. Here, we review in detail several time-resolved EFM techniques based on non-contact atomic force microscopy, elaborating on their specific limitations and challenges. We also introduce a new experimental technique that can resolve time-varying signals well below the oscillation period of the cantilever and compare and contrast it with those previously established.
