Abstract

Oxides, nitrides, carbides and silicides contain more than one type of atoms that gives one extra degree of freedom in the grain boundary and interfacial structure. This degree of freedom is the choice of the boundary plane containing different type of atoms which results of several structural multiplicities in the boundary. Coexistence of the structural multiplicities (or boundary domains) in the interface and grain boundary were reported [1, 2]. The structural information in high frequency domain is usually blurred and lost in the lens system of a high resolution transmission electron microscopes (HRTEM) such that the HRTEM image may not truly represent the real structure. Conventionally, the structures of grain boundary and interface were solved using forward method. The forward method involves matching the simulated images from guessed possible models with the through focal series experimental images. Recently, rereconstruction methods such as focal variation holography [3, 4], tiltbeam holography [5] and Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm [6] provide a backward (direct) way to recover the structural information lost in a modern microscope.
