摘要:

用同步辐射X射线衍射研究了PbTiO $_3$ /SrTiO $_3$超晶格中的铁电畴。宏观测量显示,随着温度的升高,畴壁取向从$\left\lbrace 100 \right\rbrace $到$\left\lbrace 110 \right\rbrace $晶面发生变化。这种重取向的温度范围取决于铁电层的厚度和畴周期。使用纳米聚焦束,在掩埋的铁电层内的畴壁取向的局部变化进行成像,无论是在结构均匀的区域的样品和附近的缺陷位点和氩离子蚀刻图案。域壁被发现表现出优先与蚀刻图案的直边以及与缺陷部位相关的结构特征对齐。面外晶格参数的分布被映射在一个这样的特征周围,表明它伴随着不均匀的应变和大的应变梯度。

英文摘要:

Ferroelectric domains in PbTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices were studied using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Macroscopic measurements revealed a change in the domain wall orientation from $\left\lbrace 100 \right\rbrace $ to $\left\lbrace 110 \right\rbrace $ crystallographic planes with increasing temperature. The temperature range of this reorientation depends on the ferroelectric layer thickness and domain period. Using a nanofocused beam, local changes in domain wall orientation within the buried ferroelectric layers were imaged, both in structurally uniform regions of the sample and near defect sites and argon ion etched patterns. Domain walls were found to exhibit preferential alignment with the straight edges of the etched patterns as well as with structural features associated with defect sites. The distribution of out-of-plane lattice parameters was mapped around one such feature, showing that it is accompanied by inhomogeneous strain and large strain gradients.
