报告摘要：

Functional oxides with their exceptional variety of physical properties are important part of the material basis for future multifunctional devices. The physical properties of these oxides depend strongly on the particular crystal structure and configuration of lattice defects that are unavoidably occur in the crystal matrix. In particular, the interfaces and domain walls (or boundaries) of functional oxides exhibit novel properties differing from the bulk matrix, such as conductivity, ferromagnetism and photovoltaic properties [1]. These novel properties have attracted considerable interest of research on the underlying physics with respect to structural origin and their potential application in nano-electronics.

Aberration-corrected high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (HR(S)TEM) has proven to be a powerful tool for materials research [2]. For crystalline materials quantitative HR(S)TEM can be used for determining the position of atomic columns with a precision of a few picometers and the chemical occupancy in atomic columns with a precision of a few atomic percent. With quantitative evaluation of image contrast of a thin crystal, the number of atoms within the atomic columns parallel to the viewing direction has been determined [3].

In the present lecture, quantitative HR(S)TEM and examples for its applications to studying oxide materials are presented. Employing quantitative HR(S)TEM, domain walls in ferroelectric Pb(ZrTi)O₃ thin films and topological structures and defects in multilayer films of SrTiO₃/PbTiO₃ are studied [4-6]. We measure with picometer precision the positions and relative displacements of the atoms. The precisely measured displacements of atoms are used to determine the modulus and the direction of the electric dipole moments unit cell by unit cell, which reveals the domain walls and topological structures and defects.
