新型器件的开发通常涉及功能材料与衬底的组合，每种材料均因其特定的物理性质（如低损耗或热导率）而被选用。然而，这可能会引入较大的晶格失配和高密度的结构缺陷，这些缺陷可能通过俘获电荷或形成泄漏路径而限制器件的性能和可靠性。将超导TiN与低损耗蓝宝石衬底集成便是这种情况。在此，我们利用多层电子叠层成像的深度切片能力，对蓝宝石上外延TiN中由此产生的失配位错、螺型位错和穿透位错进行了分辨和成像。我们发现失配位错间距约为1.6纳米，并追踪了失配位错的离面交叉及其向穿透位错的转变，这些细节在传统缺陷成像方法中是模糊不清的。在极小体积和高密度下关联特定位错类型及其相互作用的能力，对于理解结构-性能关系（即使在现代缩小的器件中）具有重要价值。
英文摘要
Development of novel devices often involve combining functional materials and substrates, each chosen for particular physical properties such as low-loss or thermal conductivity. This, however, can introduce a large lattice mismatch and high density of structural defects that may limit device performance and reliability by trapping charge or creating leakage pathways. Such is the case for integrating superconducting TiN with a low-loss sapphire substrate. Here we resolve and image the resulting misfit, screw, and threading dislocations in epitaxial TiN on sapphire using the depth-sectioning capabilities of multislice electron ptychography. We find misfit dislocations spaced ~1.6 nm apart and track out-of-plane crossings of misfit dislocations as well as their transitions to threading dislocations, details which are obscured in conventional defect-imaging methods. The ability to correlate specific dislocation types and their interactions in extremely small volumes and at high densities is valuable for understanding structure-property relations even in modern, scaled devices.
