Transmission Electron Microscopy Observation of (202) and (211) Twins in Monoclinic $ZrO_2$ Thin Film

  • Published : 1995.09.01

Abstract

Twins along(202) and (211) planes are observed in monoclinic $ZrO_2$ thin film, which is deposited on Si substrate by MOCVD at $350^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours in air. These types of twin have not been reported in monoclinic $ZrO_2$. The twins seem to be originated from the two dimensional tensile stresses applied to the $ZrO_2$ thin film due to the different thermal expansions of $ZrO_2$ thin film and Si substrate.
