Abstract

Interface microstractures of BaTiO3/LaAlO3 grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) are studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Interface dislocations in BaTiO3/LaAlO3 have been shown to be directly linked with the 90° domain boundaries in BaTiO3. This association is a result of strain relief due to a phase transformation on cooling from the growth temperature. The {100} surfaces of BaTiO3 are terminated with the Ba-O layer.
