M. Yonemura et al., MODULATED STRUCTURE AND ANTIPHASE BOUNDAR Y IN (CA-0.4, ND-0.6)(1.54)TI2O6 MICROWAVE DIELECTRICS, Nippon Kinzoku Gakkaishi, 60(12), 1996, pp. 1143-1148
High resolution electron microscopy (HREM) observation with the multis
lice simulation was performed in order to analyze the structure of Ca-
Nd-Ti-O microwave dielectrics which have recently been synthesized. Th
e detailed structure that was predicted by X-ray diffractmetry and Rie
tvelt analysis was the structure in which the lattice vacancies exist
selectively in the (002) plane of perovskitelike unit cells. We confir
med the predicted structure by comparing the HREM images with simulate
d images. We also revealed the antiphase boundary (APE) caused by the
displacement of the (002) defective planes.
