Single atom detection is of key importance to solving a wide range scientific and technological problems. The strong interaction electrons with matter makes transmission electron microscopy one the most promising techniques. In particular, aberration correction using scanning has made significant step forward toward detecting single atoms. However, overcome radiation damage, related use high-energy electrons, incoming dose should be kept low enough. This results in images exhibiting...
In oxide heterostructures, different materials are integrated into a single artificial crystal, resulting in breaking of inversion symmetry across the heterointerfaces. A notable example is interface between polar and nonpolar materials, where valence discontinuities lead to otherwise inaccessible charge spin states. This approach paved way for discovery numerous unconventional properties absent bulk constituents. However, control geometric structure electronic wave functions correlated...
We report charge-transfer up to a single electron per interfacial unit cell across non-polar heterointerfaces from the Mott insulator LaTiO3 charge transfer LaCoO3. In high-quality bi- and tri-layer systems grown using pulsed laser deposition, soft X-ray absorption, dichroism STEM-EELS are used probe cobalt 3d-electron count provide an element-specific investigation of magnetic properties. The experiments prove deterministically-tunable process acting in LaCoO3 within three cells...
By combining TEM with image simulations and XRD, a strategy is proposed for enabling local detection of confined Pb clusters in Linde Type A zeolites loadings as low 5 wt%.
