Abstract

A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study was performed on Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ compositions within the R3m → R3c phase region. The low temperature phase is owing to a displacive phase transition involving oxygen octahedral tilts. The associated superlattice reflections as a result of the tilt are detectable by electron diffraction. Dark Field diffraction contrast imaging of the superlattice reflections reveals antiphase boundaries (APB) associated with the octahedral tilt domains. Interaction between the octahedral tilt antiphase boundaries and the ferroelectric domain structures of the R3c phase is studied and discussed.
