Electric field induced 180° domains switching in a 300nm thick layer of BaTiO3. Observation using dark-field TEM.

Research topics

As a member of Electromagnetic field mapping working group, my research topics are:

  • Strain field imaging
  • Multi-biprism interferometry
  • Semiconductors (Si/SiGe, epitaxial strain, dislocations)
  • Piezo/ferroelectrics (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3, BaTiO3), domain switching)
(a) TEM image of an array of MOSFET transistors with SiGe source and drain. (b) (220) Dark-field electron hologram. (c) Reconstructed horizontal deformation map. (d) Deformation map obtained using finite element simulation

Techniques

  • Dark-field electron holography, HRTEM/STEM (FEI and Hitachi microscopes)
  • In-situ biasing, indentation (Hysitron and nanofactory holders)
  • Sample preparation by focused ion beam (FIB FEI Helios)
  • Image analysis (geometrical phase analysis, peak-find)
  • Finite element simulation (COMSOL multiphysics)
