In situ (S)TEM experiments were carried out using an aberration-corrected JEOL ARM 300F at 300 kV in STEM and TEM modes. The real-time diffraction pattern, dark-field TEM images, and atomic HAADF-STEM images were recorded using a JEOL ARM 300F with a double-tilt holder provided by the ZEPTools Technology Company. The acquisition parameters of the real-time diffraction pattern were 4,096 × 4,096 pixels for each frame and 7 frames/s. The dark-field TEM images related to the applied electric field were completed in TEM mode with the microscope equipped with a OneView camera (Gatan). The images were recorded with 4,096 × 4,096 pixels for each frame and 25 frames/s; the corresponding temporal resolution was 0.04 s. Quantitative measurements of the mechanical loads were performed using an FEI F20 microscope operated at 200 kV in TEM mode and equipped with a OneView camera together with a Hysitron system (PI 95). The images were recorded with 1,024 × 1,024 pixels for each frame and 10 frames/s from the OneView camera; the corresponding time resolution was 0.1 s. The atomic HAADF-STEM images were recorded with 2048×2048 pixels for each frame, and the dwell time of each pixel was 4 μs.

In-situ TEM Experiments with Quantitative Mechanical Measurements

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ TEM experiments were carried out on a JEOL ARM 300 F instrument at 300 kV in either TEM or STEM mode. Experiments were also partly performed in an FEI F20 microscope operated at 200 kV in TEM mode together with a Hysitron system (PI 95) for quantitative measurement of the mechanical loads. However, for Hysitron holder, the stability is too poor to allow us get any atomic resolution because the mechanical force measurement requires feedback that causes relatively larger vibrations. For better stability and resolution, the real-time diffraction patterns, high-resolution TEM images, and atomically resolved STEM images were recorded on a JEOL ARM 300 F with a PicoFemto double-tilt TEM-STM holder provided by ZepTools Technology Company. A tungsten tip acted as an indenter, and was precisely controlled by a piezoelectric system. A STEM image was obtained each time the tungsten tip moved forward for time-lapse STEM images with a convergence angle of 18 mrad and collection angles of 54–220 mrad.

Two TEMs were used for in situ heating studies: Thermofisher Titan S/TEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific Ltd., Hillsboro, OR, USA) equipped with a Bruker Xflash 6 T | 30 energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometer (Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA) and an aberration-corrected JEOL ARM300F (JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Both TEMs were operated with an accelerating voltage of 300 kV. The Wildfire heating holders (DENSsolutions, Delft, Netherlands) were used for heating the NPs during in situ observations. Typical electron fluxes used for in situ imaging were in the range of 200−6000 e Å−2 s−1. Image series were acquired with two different cameras: a Gatan K2 IS camera (Gatan Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA) on the Thermofisher Titan S/TEM and a Gatan OneView camera (Gatan Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA) on the JEOL ARM300F. Inverse FFT images in Fig. 1c were obtained by separately filtering and then combining fcc and B2 spots in FFT patterns in Fig. 1a, and the same processing was used for Supplementary Figs. 3, 4, 10, and 14.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The atomic structure imaging was conducted on LAO/STO/Al2O3 sample by using Cs-corrected TEM (JEOL-ARM300F) operated at 300 kV. Convergence angle for both STEM and EDS acquisition was 35.63 mrad. Collection angle for HAADF imaging was 68 to 280 mrad. Energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer with a detectable area of 100 mm2 was used in STEM imaging mode. EDS maps with a total number of 3020 frames were acquired with a speed of 0.655 s per frame with 256 by 256 pixels. The specimen drift was corrected during acquisition. Each elemental map is constructed by integrating the signal from La-Lα, Sr-Lα, Al-Kα, and Ti-Kα characteristic x-rays, respectively. The EDS maps in Fig. 2 were processed by the Wiener filter to minimize random noise, and the averaged EDS profiles in fig. S1 were obtained from the maps without filtering, which do not contain artifact from filtering.

TEM image simulations were produced using the QSTEM multislice code,38 using 20 slices and a simulation pixel size of 0.0052 nm (re-binned 5× to the experimental pixel size of 0.026 nm). The following imaging parameters were used, in order to match the AC-TEM experiments acquired at a low doses per image (JEOL ARM300F): 80 kV accelerating voltage; −0.107 nm defocus (Scherzer); 5 nm defocal spread; 0.517 μm Cs; 1.7 mm Cc; 41.65 mrad α; 3.371 nm, 82.75° C12; 0.0982 μm, 33.55° C21; 0.0595 μm, −16.59° C23. Poisson noise due to a finite electron dose was applied with the intensity of each pixel calculated as I(x,y) = Poisson random[Isim(x,y)DΔxΔy], where Isim(x,y) is the image intensity resulting from the multislice simulation, D is the electron dose per image (4.6 × 104 e nm−2) and ΔxΔy is the pixel size.

Electron Microscopy Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microscopy for imaging and condition development was performed on two microscopes. A JEOL ARM-200F cold FEG, Cs probe corrected STEM at 80 or 200 kV acceleration voltage, 20-21 mrad convergence angle, using an annular dark field detector at 8 cm camera length, resulting in inner and outer collection angles of 33 and 120.77 mrad, respectively for LAADF imaging and 72.80 and 235.75 mrad for HAADF imaging. A JEOL ARM-300F Cs probe corrected STEM at 300 kV was used for imaging condition development. Both room temperature and cryogenic conditions were examined, and the cryogenic conditions did not noticeably reduce the beam sensitivity of the FAPbI3 thin films, so all imaging was done at room temperature. Similarly, no noticeable difference in beam sensitivity was found between 200 and 300 kV acceleration voltage, but the material was found to damage faster at 80 kV.
All imaging presented in the manuscript was at 200 kV. All alignments and focusing were done away from the areas imaged to reduce electron beam-induced damage to the material. All micrographs were obtained without tilting the sample to reduce the beam damage.
The specific image acquisition conditions for all images are listed in Table S1.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
