Distinct and novel features of nanometric electric topological defects, including dipole waves and dipole disclinations, are presently revealed in the PbTiO_{3} layers of PbTiO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} multilayer films by means of quantitative high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. These original dipole configurations are confirmed and explained by atomistic simulations and have the potential to act as functional elements in future electronics.
通过定量高分辨率扫描透射电子显微镜，在 PbTiO3/SrTiO3 多层薄膜的 PbTiO3 层中发现了纳米电拓扑缺陷的独特新颖特征，包括偶极波和偶极畴。这些原始的偶极构型通过原子模拟得到了证实和解释，有望成为未来电子学中的功能元件。
