Popis: The structural properties of the ROFeM (R=La, Nd; M=As, P) materials have been analyzed by means of electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) and in-situ cooling TEM observations. The experimental results demonstrate that the layered ROFeM crystals often contain a variety of structural defects, such as stacking faults and small-angle boundaries. The in-situ TEM investigations reveal that, in association with the remarkable spin-density-wave (SDW) instability near 150 K, complex structural transitions can be clearly observed in both crystal symmetry and local microstructure features.
