Formation of twins in Or-BYCO crystals was studied by transforming them to T-phase by electron beam irradiation in the microscope. It is known that during the transformation the crystals developed twinning (STW), Ortho-II phase (1×2 superstructure), tweed structure. These structures occur in that order by the irradiation and the structural changes are caused by oxygen deficiency and oxygen atoms ordering. This work is aimed at elucidation of oxygen atom ordering by examining the structural evolution in terms of morphologies of the twins.Atypical evolution of an Or-BYCO crystal is shown in a series of micrographs in Figs. 1 to 5. As-grown twin (FTW) boundaries have a characteristic lens shape extending in the < 110> direction and terminate at a twin boundary in horizontal direction (Fig.1). These boundaries don't accompany strain contrast which is developed in the crystal after a brief irradiation (Fig.2). The strain contrasts, which are differentiated easily from the thickness contrast, appear parallel to the boundaries and change slowly across the boundaries.

ABSTRACTThe effects of electron beam irradiation on the electrical characteristics of Pt-PZT-Pt and Pt-PLZT-Pt (with La concentration of 5% and 10%) thin film capacitors were studied. The top electrode of each capacitor was bombarded by localized energetic electrons with incident energies varying from 5 keV to 25 ke.V. Large distortions in the hysteresis loops were observed when the incident electrons had enough energy to penetrate the 1000Å Pt top electrode. The damage effects are strongly dependent on the original domain orientation when the film is irradiated, and an applied a.c. field after the irradiation seems to induce some recovery effects. The damage mechanism is explained by a simple model which considers the effect of space charge fields generated by the charge carriers trapped at the domain boundaries.
