AbstractWe have examined the structure, composition and bonding at an un-doped 58° [001] tilt grain-boundary in SrTiO3 in order to investigate the control that the grain boundary exerts over the bulk properties. Room temperature and in-situ heating experiments show that there is a segregation of oxygen vacancies to the grain boundary that is increased at elevated temperatures and is independent of the cation arrangement. These measurements indicate that the widely observed electronic properties of grain boundaries may be due to an excess of mobile oxygen vacancies that cause a highly doped n-type region in the close proximity ( ≍ 1 unit cell) to the boundary. These results are shown to be consistent with both theoretical models and lower resolution chemical analysis.

Atom probe tomography has primarily been used for atomic scale characterization of high electrical conductivity materials. A high electrical field applied to needle-shaped specimens evaporates surface atoms, and a time of flight measurement determines each atom's identity. A 2-dimensional detector determines each atom's original position on the specimen. When repeated successively over many surface monolayers, the original specimen can be reconstructed into a 3-dimensional representation. In order to have an accurate 3-D reconstruction of the original, the field required for atomic evaporation must be known a-priori. For many metallic materials, this evaporation field is well characterized, and 3-D reconstructions can be achieved with reasonable accuracy.
