摘要:

利用透射电子显微镜(TEM)对SrFe_2As_2和CaFe_2As_2化合物的结构进行了从室温到20 K的分析。实验结果表明,SrFe_2As_2晶体在室温下具有四方晶系结构,并在210 K左右发生四方(T)-正交(O)相变。此外,在正交相中还出现了明显的由T-O相变引起的孪晶层。另一方面,透射电子显微镜观察CaFe_2As_2揭示了一个伪周期结构调制的存在下,在室温下的周期约为40 nm。这种调制可能与Ca层内的局部结构畸变有关。原位冷却TEM观察CaFe 2As 2揭示了复杂的域结构的存在下,在低温正交相。

英文摘要:

The structural properties of the SrFe2As2 and CaFe2As2 compounds have been extensively analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) from room temperature down to 20K. The experimental results demonstrate that the SrFe2As2 crystal, in consistence with previous x-ray data, has a tetragonal structure at room temperature and undergoes a tetragonal (T)-orthorhombic (O) phase transition at about 210K. Moreover, twinning lamella arising from T-O transition evidently appears in the orthorhombic phase. On the other hand, TEM observations of CaFe2As2 reveal the presence of a pseudo-periodic structural modulation with the periodicity of around 40nm at room temperature. This modulation is likely in connection with the local structural distortions within the Ca layer. In-situ cooling TEM observations of CaFe2As2 reveal the presence of complex domain structures in the low-temperature orthorhombic phase.
