摘要:

迄今为止,高分辨率电子显微镜在很大程度上依赖于使用出射表面处的出射波函数的相位来形成高分辨率电子显微镜图像。我们首次使用色差校正来实现一种新的成像模式,以实现高分辨率电子显微镜中的振幅衬度成像,使我们能够获得直接可解释的高分辨率电子显微镜图像,区分轻和重原子柱。使用这种成像方法,我们已经成功地可视化的原子结构在BaTiO 3/CaTiO 3超晶格与高空间精度和歧视之间的Ba和Ca列,提供直接可视化的Ca和Ba相关的氧八面体倾斜,控制铁电行为在这些超晶格结构。此外,这种方法提供了新的机会来解开各种材料的结构,特别是基于特定结构排列的具有奇异行为的复杂氧化物。

英文摘要:

To date, high-resolution electron microscopy has largely relied on using the phase of the exit wave function at the exit surface to form a high-resolution electron microscopic image. We have for the first time used chromatic aberration correction to implement a new imaging mode to achieve amplitude contrast imaging in high-resolution electron microscopy, allowing us to obtain directly interpretable high-resolution electron microscopic images with discrimination between light and heavy atomic columns. Using this imaging approach, we have successfully visualized the atomic structure in a BaTiO3/CaTiO3 superlattice with high spatial accuracy and discrimination between Ba and Ca columns, providing direct visualization of the Ca and Ba associated oxygen octahedral tilt that controls ferroelectric behavior in these superlattice structures. Furthermore, this approach offers new opportunities to unravel the structure in a wide range of materials, especially complex oxides with exotic behaviors based on specific structural arrangements.
