摘　　要：探索位错等缺陷对于铁电材料畴结构、铁电性、电导率等其他物理属性的影响对于研究铁电薄膜材料的铁电及压电机理有着至关重要的作用,关于界面位错对铁电薄膜材料物理性质产生影响的现有研究结果也还存在争议,有待深入探究。本文采用球差矫正透射电镜(STEM)以及电子能量损失谱(EELS)研究了(010)晶面PbTiO3/SrTiO3异质界面上的周期性失配位错的原子结构及电荷分布。分析结果发现在a[001]位错核区域及其附近,可能存在着电子富集的现象,该现象可能会提高位错线上的电子电导率,该结果对于探究位错对铁电异质结体系物理性质的影响具有意义。It is important to determine the effects of misfit dislocations and other defects on the domain structure,ferroelectricity,conductivity,and other physical properties of ferroelectric thin films to understand their ferroelectric and piezoelectric behaviors.Much attention has been given to ferroelectric PbTiO3/SrTiO3 or PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces,at which improper ferroelectricity,a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas,and other physical phenomena have been found.However,those heterointerfaces were all(001)planes,and there has been no experimental studies on the growth of(010)PbTiO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface due to the 6.4%misfit between two materials.In this study,we selected an atomically flat(010)PbTiO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface grown using a two-step hydrothermal method as the research subject,and this is the first experimental report on that interface.Interfacial dislocations can play a significant role in causing dramatic changes in the Curie temperature and polarization distribution near the dislocation cores,especially when the size of a ferroelectric thin film is scaled down to the nanoscale.The results of previous studies on the effects of interfacial dislocations on the physical properties of ferroelectric thin films have been contradictory.Thus,this issue needs to be explored more deeply in the future.This study used aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM)to study the atomic structure of a(010)PbTiO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface and found periodic misfit dislocations with a Burgers vector of a[001].The extra planes at the dislocation cores could relieve the misfit strain between the two materials in the[001]direction and thus allowed the growth of such an atomically sharp heterointerface.Moreover,monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy with an atomic scale spatial resolution and high energy resolution was used to explore the charge distribution near the periodic misfit dislocation cores.The fine structure of the Ti L edge was quantitatively analyzed by linearl
