Nanoscale Characterization of Atomic Positions in Orthorhombic Perovskite Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure determines many of the physical properties of oxide perovskites (ABO₃) and only a tiny modification of the lattice structure causes major changes in the functional properties through the interplay among spin, orbital and charge orders. The determination of distortions and their associated symmetries is a valuable asset for understanding the structure properties relationship and guiding the design of epitaxial oxide heterostructures and correlated electronic states. Here, the in-depth structural characterization of a 50 nm-LaVO₃ thin film grown onto (110)-oriented DyScO₃ by molecular beam epitaxy is reported. The heterostructure is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, high-resolution and scanning transmission electron microscopie
