An epitaxially strained LaNiO3/LaGaO3 (LNO/LGO) superlattice grown on (001) SrTiO3 (STO) has been investigated. Due to the lattice mismatch, the superlattice is subject to tensile strain. The strain-induced distortions and deformations of the octahedral network may drastically influence the magnetic, electrical and structural functionalities of the heterostructures. We have studied the structural change, particularly the tilt system, of the octahedral network by means of aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (AC-HRTEM). Each atomic column can be resolved clearly by applying negative Cs conditions. The two different octahedral tilt angles viewed in [110] projection indicate non-identical tilt systems in LNO and LGO layers. The atomic structure of the superlattice has been resolved, including in-plane and out-of-plane lattice parameters, distortions and rotation of the oxygen octahedral.
