2、nanjing, chinaas advances in aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (tem) have enabled the determination of the three-dimensional structure of materials with sub-angstrom resolution, the recent development of in situ tem in combination with scanning probe techniques allows us to study

3、 the dynamic behaviors of nanostructures under applied fields or stress while the atomic structure is imaged directly we use these advanced tem techniques to study the atomic structure and energies of domain walls in ferroelectric (pbzr0.2ti0.8o3, pzt) and multiferroic bifeo3. i will show that the a

4、tomic scale polarization map can be quantitatively determined using aberration-corrected tem images owing to the large atomic displacements responsible for the dipole moment. our studies revealed that interfaces in complex multidomain geometries lead to the formation of polarization vortices with el

6、ics of ferroelectric switching are followed at millisecond temporal and sub-angstrom spatial resolution in ferroelectric thin films. we observed localized nucleation events at the electrode interface, domain wall pinning on point defects, and the formation of metastable ferroelectric states localize

8、ical domain size. furthermore, a novel hindering effect was observed, which occurs via the formation of a transient layer with a thickness of several unit cells at an otherwise charged interface between a ferroelastic domain and a switched domain. this transient layer possesses a low magnitude polar
