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…

phaser: A unified and extensible framework for fast electron ptychography

Colin Gilgenbach, Menglin Zhu, James M. LeBeau

We present \code{phaser}, an open-source Python package that provides a unified interface to both conventional and gradient descent-based ptychographic algorithms. Features such as…

Sensitivity of Multislice Electron Ptychography to Point Defects: A Case Study in SiC

Aaditya Bhat, Colin Gilgenbach, Junghwa Kim +3

Here, we evaluate multislice electron ptychography as a tool to carry out depth-resolved atomic resolution characterization of point defects, using silicon carbide as a case study.…

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…

Insights into Chemical and Structural Order at Planar Defects in a Functional Oxide Using Multislice Electron Ptychography

Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Yu Yun +7

Switchable order parameters in ferroic materials are essential for functional electronic devices, yet disruptions of the ordering can take the form of planar boundaries or defects…
