Abstract

We analyze and determine the factors governing the contrast in contact mode atomic force microscopy of domain-structured ferroelectric crystals. The analysis is applied to measurements conducted on KTiOPO4 crystals with artificially created well-defined domain structure. It is found that the amplitude contrast is due to difference in the work functions of the antiparallel domains.
