abstract = "A novel approach for nanoscale imaging and presentation of the orientation dependence of electromechanical properties, vector piezoresponse force microscopy (Vector-PFM), is proposed. The relationship between local polarization, piezoelectric constants and crystallographic orientation is described. The image formation mechanism in vector PFM and conditions for complete three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the electromechanical response vector and evaluation of the piezoelectric constants from PFM data are discussed. The developed approach can be applied to crystallographic orientation imaging in piezoelectric materials with a spatial resolution below 10 nm. Several approaches for data representation in two-dimensional (2D)-PFM and 3D-PFM are described.",
