Extract

Quantitative compositional characterization was carried out on a ceramic boundary using atomic resolution high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADFSTEM), with the aid of HAADF image simulation. HAADF-STEM observation was performed with a JEM-2010F TEM/STEM equipped with a field emission gun and an HAADF detector. And also the image simulation for HAADF was made on a computer by the program that was developed by the authors using Bethe's method.

The material used in this experiment that was provided by TDK Co., is a semiconducting SrTiO3 (STO) ceramic condenser. The bulk substance was formed by the process of sintering in a reduced ambience followed by the reoxidization in the air after surface coating with Bi2O3, PbO and CuO compounds resulting in having a unique structure with Bi diffusion layers at the grain boundary region.
