Abstract

Understanding the nanoscale electrodynamic properties of a material at microwave frequencies is of great interest for materials science, condensed matter physics, device engineering, and biology. With specialized probes, sensitive detection electronics, and improved scanning platforms, microwave microscopy has become an important tool for cutting-edge materials research in the past decade. In this article, we review the basic components and data interpretation of microwave imaging and its broad range of applications. In addition to the general-purpose mapping of permittivity and conductivity, microwave microscopy is now exploited to perform quantitative measurements on semiconductor devices, photosensitive materials, ferroelectric domains and domain walls, and acoustic-wave systems. Implementation of the technique in low-temperature and high-magnetic-field chambers has also led to major discoveries in quantum materials with strong correlation and topological order. We conclude the review with an outlook of the ultimate resolution, operation frequency, and future industrial and academic applications of near-field microwave microscopy.

微波显微镜及其应用

了解材料在微波频率下的纳米级电动力学特性对材料科学、凝聚态物理、器件工程和生物学都有很大的意义。在过去的十年里，微波显微镜凭借专门的探针、灵敏的检测电子设备和改进的扫描平台，已成为前沿材料研究的重要工具。本文综述了微波成像的基本组成、数据解释及其广泛的应用。除了介电常数和电导率的通用映射外，微波显微镜现在还被用于对半导体器件，光敏材料，铁电畴和畴壁以及声波系统进行定量测量。在低温和高磁场室中实现该技术也导致了具有强相关性和拓扑秩序的量子材料的重大发现。最后，对近场微波显微镜的最终分辨率、工作频率以及未来的工业和学术应用进行了展望。
