Direct imaging of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 nanostructures using piezoresponse force microscopy

The interface between LaAlO3 and TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 can be switched between metastable conductive and insulating states using a conductive atomic force microscope probe. Determination of the nanoscale dimensions has previously required a destructive readout (e.g., local restoration of an insulat...
