A transmission electron microscopy investigation has been conducted on the domain structure in SrBi2Ta2O9 ceramics. From the 90° rotation relationship of the electron diffraction pattern of the [001] zone axis, a 90° domain wall can be confirmed. It is due to the failure of Friedel’s law that the contrast of a 180° domain wall can be identified. The antiphase boundary can be seen clearly in the dark-field image, which is taken by the (300) superlattice reflection. The 90° domain wall, as well as antiphase the boundary (APB), has an irregular configuration. The APB combined with the 90° domain wall is also identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
