Abstract

Single-crystalline, single-c-domain Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 nanoislands (truncated-pyramid in shape) with an average height of ∼9 nm and a base length of ∼50 nm were grown on compressive niobium-doped SrTiO3(001) substrates using chemical solution deposition. Cross-sectional highresolution electron microscopy investigations allowed to propose a growth model of the islands, and they proved the existence of edge-type misfit dislocations at the interface.
