Dislocation-containing planar faults in metastably retained hexagonal barium titanate
Planar faults, designated F-1-F-6 and F-a, with intermixed dislocations in metastably retained hexagonal-BaTiO3 ceramics, were found and analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Only faults with one, two, and four extra c-layers parallel to the basal plane have been identified. Fault vectors R-F1=R-Fa=1/6[02 (2) over bar1], R-F2=R-F3=1/3[0 (1) over bar 11], R-F4=1/3[01 (1) over bar2], and R-F'1=R-F5= R-F6=R-F'a=1/6[0 (2) over bar 21] were determined adopting the 2 pi g.R=0 (or 2n pi) criteria in combination with high-resolution imaging. Further, the embedded dislocations were half-partials with Burgers vectors b=1/3 < 10 (1) over bar0 > determined by the g.b=0 effective invisibility criteria in conjunction with the eligible fault vectors. A rotation by 60 degrees about the c-axis was found between fault segments with R-F1=1/6[02 (2) over bar1] and R-F'1=1/6[20 (2) over bar1] located on either side of a partial. Basal dislocations with b(B)=1/3 < 1 (2) over bar 10 > have dissociated into two prism-plane Shockley half-partials with b(Pr)=1/3 < 1 (1) over bar 00 > by glide in the fault plane (0002) according to 1/3 < 1 (2) over bar 10 >-> 1/3 < 1 (1) over bar 00 >+1/3 < 0 (1) over bar 10 >. The fault segment F'(1) encompassed by two half-partials is an extrinsic complex stacking fault.
