AB - Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) provides valuable insight into the inverse lateral and vertical piezoelectric effects on the nanoscale. Ideally, these contributions are separated into vertical and lateral detections of a deflected laser beam on a quadrupole diode. In contrast to the known crosstalk by a rotated diode that causes identical signals in both channels, we report on the crosstalk due to the geometrical constraints of the cantilever that is inherent to the lateral PFM. For a BaTiO3 (001) nanograin we show that the vertical response attributable to the crosstalk is 1/8th of the lateral response. From this value we deduce the actual mechanism responsible for the crosstalk. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
