Abstract

The microstructure and chemistry of a Ti-rich (Ba,Sr)TiO3 film with 53.4 % Ti deposited on Pt/SiO2/Si substrate by MOCVD was studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping in electron energy loss spectroscopy. We established that the Ti/Ba ratio at all the grain boundaries in this film is significantly higher than that in the grain interiors. Structural images revealed the presence of disordered amorphous-like regions at some of the grain boundaries and triple junctions. These regions were tentatively identified as those having the highest Ti/Ba ratio in the chemical maps. Analysis of the electron energy loss near edge structure for the O-K edge indicated an increased oxygen to titanium coordination at the grain boundaries. No second phase was detected at the (Ba,Sr)TiO3/Pt interface.
