| Abstract |
Nanostructured piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin films are being increasingly used in sensing and actuating microdevices. In this work, we report the experimental discovery of localized electric field enhancement in nanocolumnar piezoelectric thin films and its significant impact on piezoresponse. The magnitude of electric field enhancement is associated with nonflat surface morphologies and is in agreement with theoretical and finite element models. The influence of this surface morphology induced enhancement on piezoresponse is demonstrated using phase field simulations, which also illustrates surface morphology induced strain enhancement. The observed enhancement can be effectively harnessed to improve the sensitivity of related piezoelectric thin film applications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 February 2011.
All research outputs
#20,150,151
of 22,656,971 outputs
Outputs from ACS Nano
#12,184
of 12,746 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#171,807
of 182,568 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Nano
#139
of 142 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,656,971 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,746 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 182,568 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 142 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
