Diffraction from Oxide Superlattices - Stacking sequence Effects in Plan View

Abstract

As nanoscience moves from observation to control, and electron microscope image interpretation becomes simplified by the new corrected TEMs, there is now a more realistic prospect than ever of both fabricating, with control at the atomic level, structures with wanted properties, and interpreting their bulk properties in terms of the atomic structures seen in the (S)TEM. For example, oxide superlattices may now be tailor-made by atomic-layer deposition to produce both conductive and ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interfaces by choice of stoichiometry and stacking sequence.
