abstract = {Lead zirconate titanate samples are used for their
piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties in various types
of micro-devices. Epitaxial layers of tetragonal perovskites
have a tendency to relax by forming ferroelastic domains.
The accommodation of the a/c/a/c polydomain structure on a
flat substrate leads to nanoscale deformation gradients
which locally influence the polarization by flexoelectric
effect. Here, we investigated the deformation fields in
epitaxial layers of Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 grown on SrTiO3
substrates using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We
found that the deformation gradients depend on the domain
walls inclination ( or to the substrate interface) of the
successive domains and we describe three different a/c/a
domain configurations: one configuration with parallel
a-domains and two configurations with perpendicular
a-domains (V-shaped and hat--shaped). In the parallel
configuration, the c-domains contain horizontal and vertical
gradients of out-of-plane deformation. In the V-shaped and
hat--shaped configurations, the c-domains exhibit a bending
deformation field with vertical gradients of in-plane
deformation. Each of these configurations is expected to
have a different influence on the polarization and so the
local properties of the film. The deformation gradients were
measured using dark-field electron holography, a TEM
technique, which offers a good sensitivity $(0.1\%)$ and a
large field-of-view (hundreds of nanometers). The
measurements are compared with finite element simulations.},
