The technique of high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) is invaluable to the materials scientist because it allows examination of microstructural features at levels of resolution that are unobtainable by most other methods. Although the structural information which can be determined by HREM and accompanying image simulations has been well documented in the literature, there have only been a few cases where this technique has been used to reveal the chemistry of individual columns or planes of atoms, as occur in segregated and ordered materials.

A new frontier has opened up in the field of superconductivity with the very recent discovery of compounds of bismuth and thallium which appear to superconduct above 100 K. Both of these compounds appear to be perovskite derivatives with intergrowth of the basic perovskite with bismuth double-layers and perhaps thallium double layers. The structure of these compounds, however, is not as yet completely established, particularly the thallium material which to date has only been produced in very small quantities due to the toxic nature of thallium.We have very recently been studying both the bismuth and thallium superconductors by high resolution electron microscopy. The bismuth material appears to be an intergrowth of a five layer perovskite with a buckling of the structure along the b axis (see Figure 1) which preliminary image simulations suggest is in the form of a shear wave of amplitude in the region of 0.25 Angstroms.

AbstractA metal-ceramic interface was produced by depositing Al on a {100} MgO substrate in a MBE system. The interface was studied with High Resolution Electron Microscopy. Results of some image simulations are shown, raising the question if effects of ionicity and charging should be taken into account.
