Abstract

The Z-contrast microscopy technique can be used to study compositional ordering and segregation at the atomic scale. This article discusses three examples of ordering: ferroelectric materials; III-V semiconductor alloys; and cooperative segregation at a semiconductor grain boundary, where a combination of Z-contrast imaging with first principles theory provides a complete atomic-scale view of the sites and configurations of the segregant atoms.
