Popis: Lead scandium tantalate (PST) thin films sputtered onto sapphire substrates have been studied by using transmission electron microscopy. Samples in transverse section were used to characterize the microstructure of the thin films as a function of distance from the PST-sapphire interface whereas samples in plan section allowed a more detailed, structural investigation of the PST. A liquid nitrogen cold stage was used to induce the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transitionin situ and to perform heating and cooling experiments on the thin films.
