Calcium cobaltite thin films with a ratio Ca/Co=1 were grown on (101)-NdGaO3 substrate by the pulsed laser deposition technique. The structure of the deposited metastable phase is solved using a precession electron diffraction 3D dataset recorded from a cross-sectional sample. It is shown that an ordered oxygen-deficient Ca2Co2O5+d perovskite of the brownmillerite-type with lattice parameters a= 0.546nm, b=1.488nm and c=0.546nm (SG: Ibm2) has been stabilized using the substrate induced strain. The structure and microstructure of this metastable cobaltite is further discussed and compared to related bulk materials based on our transmission electron microscopy investigations

Unveiling Unconventional Ferroelectric Switching in Multiferroic Ga0.6 Fe1.4O3 Thin Films Through Multiscale Electron Microscopy Investigations
了解铁电材料中起作用的极化转换机制对于它们在电子器件中的开发至关重要。传统的基于中心对称参考结构的机制解释了大多数常见的位移铁电材料中的铁电性,对于一些新诊断的铁电材料如Ga 2-xFexO 3(0.8 < x < 1.4)化合物来说,该机制过于耗能。一些替代的理论命题已经提出,需要实验证实。双尺度电子显微镜研究进行薄膜的Ga 0.6 Fe 1.4 O 3多铁性化合物。大规模的旋进辅助电子衍射层析成像研究首先允许确定化合物在薄膜中采用的结构,甚至允许细化该结构内的原子位置。阳离子迁移率建议通过存在额外的电子密度的两个原子的位置。一个本地的原位高分辨率扫描透射电子显微镜研究,然后允许确认这些流动性,通过直接点连续采集的图像上的阳离子位移。整个研究证实了一个非常规的开关机制,通过局部畴壁运动在该化合物。
