  • Abstract
    In this study the influence of the annealing conditions on the surface morphology and the elastic and piezoelectric properties of thin-film lead calcium titanate samples were investigated with enhanced atomic force microscopy techniques like tapping mode, atomic force acoustic microscopy and ultrasonic piezo-mode. The morphology of the thin-films can serve as an indicator of their properties, whether they are in an amorphous, polycrystalline and/or nanocrystalline state proving the imaging capability of dynamic force microscopy techniques.
