Abstract
Achieving stable single-digit nanometer inverted domains in ferroelectric thin films is a fundamental issue that has remained a bottleneck for the development of ultrahigh density (>1 Tbit/in.^2) probe-based memory devices using ferroelectric media. Here, we demonstrate that such domains remain stable only if they are fully inverted through the entire ferroelectric film thickness, which is dependent on a critical ratio of electrode size to the film thickness. This understanding enables the formation of stable domains as small as 4 nm in diameter, corresponding to 10 unit cells in size. Such domain size corresponds to 40 Tbit/in.^2 data storage densities
