abstract = {The homogeneity of Verneuil-grown SrTiO3:Nb crystals was
investigated. Due to the fast crystal growth process,
inhomogeneities in the donor dopant distribution and
variation in the dislocation density are expected to occur.
In fact, for some crystals optical studies show variations
in the density of Ti3+ states on the microscale and a
cluster-like surface conductivity was reported in
tip-induced resistive switching studies. However, our
investigations by TEM, EDX mapping, and 3D atom probe reveal
that the Nb donors are distributed in a statistically random
manner, indicating that there is clearly no inhomogeneity on
the macro-, micro-, and nanoscale in high quality
Verneuil-grown crystals. In consequence, the electronic
transport in the bulk of donor-doped crystals is homogeneous
and it is not significantly channelled by extended defects
such as dislocations which justifies using this material,
for example, as electronically conducting substrate for
epitaxial oxide film growth.},
