Erratum to: METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A, Vol. 38A, No. 4, April 2007 DOI: 10.1007/s11661-007-9235-1

Following are updates to the original article:

  1. 1.

    Y. Murakami’s correct academic title is Associate Professor.

  2. 2.

    The corrected caption for figure 4 is as follows: Fig. 4— Tip portion of the double probe piezodriving holder.

  3. 3.

    The last paragraph under the heading “B. Examinations on the Phase Identification in Hole-Doped Manganites” is updated as follows:

  4. As

    demonstrated in this study, our new TEM-based system is available in the electric and magnetic phase identification in a nanoscale area. In addition, because this system can supply a high density current (e.g., 105 A/cm2 or higher) to a nanoscale area, it is possible to examine the current-induced change in domain structures by TEM.
