Strain Localization in Thin Films of Bi(Fe,Mn)O3 Due to the Formation of Stepped Mn4+-Rich Antiphase Boundaries

The atomic structure and chemistry of thin films of Bi(Fe,Mn)O3 (BFMO) films with a target composition of Bi2FeMnO6 on SrTiO3 are studied using scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy. It is shown that Mn4+-rich antiphase boundaries are locally nucleat...
