摘要: Perovskite-based BaNb(0.2)Ti(0.8)O(3) (BNTO) thin film, grown by computer-controlled laser molecular beam epitaxy on SrTiO(3) (001) substrate, was investigated means of high-resolution electron microscopic (HREM) imaging, high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometric (XEDS) line-scanning in a transmission microscope. The microstructure the film is clarified terms various domains due to tetragonal characteristics. Compositional fluctuation observed domain boundaries. misfit strain element diffusivity during growth together with inherent characteristics are discussed as possible mechanism for formation distribution domains.
