Abstract
Microstructural studies on the interfacial boundaries of disordered and 1:2 ordered domains in lanthanum-doped (Ba0.975La0.025)(Mg0.34Nb0.66)O 3 were performed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron powder X-ray diffractometry. Disordered and 1:2 ordered domains both coexisted in a single grain. Each domain occupied its own region, and the interfaces were atomically sharp and coherent. The wavelength of the superlattice modulation in the 1:2 ordered domain was ∼0.71 nm. The transition from the 1:2 ordered region to the disordered one could be differentiated at the interface by using the superlattice modulations in the 1:2 ordered domain. From these observations, a deducible interfacial model also was presented.
