Abstract. The elastic Green function and resolution function in Piezoresponse Force
Microscopy (PFM) of thin piezoelectric film capped on the rigid substrate are derived.
The extrinsic size effect on the resolution function is demonstrated.
Keywords: Piezoresponse Force Microscopy, thin piezoelectric films, resolution
function.
