Abstract
This paper reviews advanced techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the structure, composition, and charge distribution at inter faces in ceramics. Recent experimental studies on grain boundaries in lead titanate, silicon nitride, and strontium titanate serve as examples to demo nstrate the advantages TEM in obtaining structural and chemical information at high spatial resolution.
