Nanodomains and nanometer-scale disorder in multiferroic bismuth ferrite single crystals

Original language description

We report on an investigation of state-of-the-art flux-grown multiferroic bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3; BFO) single crystals by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The crystals were pre-characterized by piezoresponse force microscopy, electrical resistance and superconducting quantum interference device magnetization measurements. The structurally highly perfect crystals show a ferroelectric stripe domain structure characterized by a domain width of 55 nm. Inside these domains an additional contiguous nanodomain substructure occurs, consisting of 180° related domains, giving rise to satellite reflections at View the MathML source121212-type positions along View the MathML source <110> directions in the electron diffraction pattern corresponding to a characteristic length in real space of 15.5 nm. Furthermore, we present the first atomic-resolution study on the short-range order by aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy in which all atoms including oxyge
