摘要

Unveiling the identity, spatial configuration, and microscopic structure of point defects is one of the key challenges in materials science. Here, we demonstrate that quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to directly observe Sr vacancies in SrTiO 3 and to determine the atom column relaxations around them. By combining recent advances in quantitative STEM, including variable-angle, high-angle annular dark-field imaging and rigid registration methods, with frozen phonon multislice image simulations, we identify which Sr columns contain vacancies and quantify the number of vacancies in them. Picometer precision measurements of the surrounding atom column positions show that the nearest-neighbor Ti atoms are displaced away from the Sr vacancies. The results open up a new methodology for studying the microscopic mechanisms by which point defects control materials properties.
