Abstract

Nonorthogonal twinings have commonly been observed in perovskite oxides such as SrTi03 and BaTi03. Among them, the ﹛111﹜ Σ3 type twining exists with a relative large amount of population and has been extensively studied. By combining quantitative high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and spatially resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), one was able to determine the atomic structure of the ﹛111﹜Σ3 twin boundary in these oxides.[l] On the other hand, nonorthogonal twinings in SrRuO3 have been much less studied. SrRu03, a ternary ruthenium metal oxide, has a perovskite-compatible structure and exhibits low electrical resistivity (10-4 Ω•cm), showing an unparallel technique importance in microelectronic applications. Since the properties of material strongly depend on the microstructure and defect configurations, it is important to study the twining structures and their formation mechanisms in SrRuO3 thin films.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to study the SrRuO3 thin films grown on (001) LaAlO3 by 90° off-axis rf sputtering.
