Direct determination of antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition pathways in PbZrO with Operando Electron Microscopy

Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Louis Alaerts +5

Under a sufficiently high applied electric field, a non-polar antiferroelectric material, such as \ce{PbZrO3}, can undergo a rapid transformation to a polar ferroelectric phase. Wh…

Operando Electron Microscopy of Nanoscale Electronic Devices on Non-Conductive Substrates

Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Zishen Tian +7

Achieving operating conditions comparable to ``bulk'' electronic devices, such as thin film capacitors, during \textit{operando} electron microscopy remains challenging, particular…

Optimizing Atomic Number Contrast in Multislice Electron Ptychography

Bridget R. Denzer, Colin Gilgenbach, James M. LeBeau

Here we explore the atomic number () dependence of multislice electron ptychography and approaches to optimize Z sensitivity. Specifically, we show that ptychography's -depen…

Grain Boundary Space Charge Engineering of Solid Oxide Electrolytes: Model Thin Film Study

Thomas Defferriere, Yong Beom Kim, Colin Gilgenbach +3

Grain boundaries (GB) profoundly influence the electrical properties of polycrystalline ionic solids. Yet, precise control of their transport characteristics has remained elusive,…

Bridging experiment and theory of relaxor ferroelectrics at the atomic scale with multislice electron ptychography

Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Yubo Qi +7

Introducing structural and/or chemical heterogeneity into otherwise ordered crystals can dramatically alter material properties. Lead-based relaxor ferroelectrics are a prototypica…
