Phase stability and interfacial structures in the SrO-SrTiO3 system

The phase stability of the subsolidus region in the composition regime SrO-SrTiO 3 has been studied using a combination of atomistic computer simulation techniques and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Both predictions from atomistic calculations and HREM observations suggest that at low c...

Zusammenfassung:The phase stability of the subsolidus region in the composition regime SrO-SrTiO 3 has been studied using a combination of atomistic computer simulation techniques and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Both predictions from atomistic calculations and HREM observations suggest that at low concentrations (less than 50mol% excess SrO), strontium-rich non-stoichiometry is accommodated by formation of a specific Ruddlesden-Popper defect phase (Sr 3 Ti 2 O 7 ) with overall composition maintained by a coherent intergrowth of Sr 3 Ti 2 O 7 and SrTiO 3 phases. A model is proposed for the atomic structure of the Sr 3 Ti 2 O 7 -SrTiO 3 interface.
