    Foundation item: National Natural Science Foundation of China (50932007);National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program) (2009CB613305);Since the discovery of bismuth-layer structured ferroelectrics (BLSF) in 1949[2], their natural superlattice structures and unique ferroelectric behaviors have attracted attentions in both fundamental researches and device applications. The BLSF compounds are generally formulated as [Bi2O2][Bim-1BmO3m+1], where m is the number of corner-sharing [BO6] octahedra sheets[3-4]. Intergrowth BLSF compounds are formed by alternative stacking of two successive layered constituents or sub-structures (m and m+1) along the common c-axis, which enable further tailoring of the ferroelectric properties[5-10]. Intergrowth Bi7Ti4NbO21 (iBTN, m=2+3) is one such compound derived from Bi3TiNbO9 (BTN, m=2) and Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT, m=3) sub-structures[11-13]. In general, it is taken as granted that different types of cations occupy the B-sites in the constituent sub-structures by inheriting directly from their parent phases.

摘要:

采用常规高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)在层状共生化合物Bi7Ti4NbO21中可经常观察到大量生长缺陷:比如插入额外的Bi3TiNbO9或Bi4Ti3O12层而产生的无序共生结构, 以及由共生相Bi7Ti4NbO21和母相Bi4Ti3O12在同一晶粒内形成的共相体[1]。为了给先前提出的共生结构重组生长模型提供更充分的依据, 采用低/中分辨率下的高角环暗场像(HAADF)配合X射线能谱(EDXS)定量分析来研究共生缺陷的产生原因。观察到一种共生缺陷可以从共生相到Bi4Ti3O12母相发生结构渐变。用空间分辨的能谱测量可以排除相邻Bi3TiNbO9层所带来的干扰, 其结果表明Bi4Ti3O12层中固溶了相当含量的Nb。一定量Nb的固溶进一步表明, 在形成共生结构的过程中两种亚结构层之间发生了普遍的阳离子互换过程, 而这一过程应该通过重组模型中的部分溶解液相来实现[1]

Abstract:

In intergrowth bismuth-layered compound Bi7Ti4NbO21, growth defects, such as disordered intergrowth with extra layers of Bi4Ti3O12 or Bi3NbTiO9 constituent sub-structures, or as the co-growth of Bi7Ti4NbO21 onto Bi4Ti3O12 grains, were frequently observed using high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM)[1]. In order to further find evidence to support the re-ordering picture that was proposed to explain formation of the intergrowth and associated defects, we employ the low- and medium-resolution high-angle annular-dark-field (HAADF) imaging combined with the quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDXS) analysis to probe into a heavily defected intergrowth structure. A gradual transformation from the ordered intergrowth of both sub-structures to the dominance of Bi4Ti3O12 sub-structure was observed. A substantial level of Nb solution could be detected in n-layered (n≥2) Bi4Ti3O12 sub-structure by spatially-resolved compositional quantification to differentiate the contribution from the adjacent single Bi3NbTiO9 layer. The presence of a finite Nb concentration in the Bi4Ti3O12 sub-structure indicates a substantial and uniform cations inter-change occurred between the two sub-structures, which is inherited most likely from the parent phases via the partially dissolved sintering melts[1].
