Vacancy‐Induced Z‐Contrast Anomaly in Self‐Assembled (Ti,V)O2 Heterostructure

Small, EarlyView.
This study investigates the unexpectedly high contrast observed in ADF‐STEM imaging of spinodal decomposed (Ti,V)O2 heterostructure. In situ heating, GPA, and EELS analyses reveal that oxygen vacancies accumulate in V‐rich layers due to facilitated vacancy migration along [001]R pathways during phase separation by spontaneous ionic diffusion.
