Structure and Composition of Grain Boundaries in Ceramics

This paper reviews advanced techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the structure, composition, and charge distribution at interfaces in ceramics. Recent experimental studies on grain boundaries in lead titanate, silicon nitride, and strontium titanate serve as examples to demo...

Description
Summary:This paper reviews advanced techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the structure, composition, and charge distribution at interfaces in ceramics. Recent experimental studies on grain boundaries in lead titanate, silicon nitride, and strontium titanate serve as examples to demonstrate the advantages TEM in obtaining structural and chemical information at high spatial resolution.
