The Cr precipitation sequence in Cu-Cr-Zr-Ag alloy during the aging process at 450°C could be obtained by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and High-resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM) in the study. The strengthening curve shows a unimodal type and the tensile strength trends to peak when the aged for 4h. The Cr phase transformation of Cu-Cr-Zr-Ag aged at 450°C is supersaturated solid sloution→G.P zones→fcc Cr phase→order fcc Cr phase→bcc Cr phase. The orientation relationship between bcc Cr precipitates and the matrix change from cube-on-cube to NW-OR.

The precipitation sequence of Al-Mg-Si alloys has been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). G.P. zone is a fine-plate having dimensions of a mono- layer in thickness, 2.5nm in width, and less than 30nm in length. Its elongated direction is parallel to the <100>m direction. Several types of metastable phases were observed in the excess Si alloy and they were classified with the b ’-phase in the balanced alloy. Especially, the b ”-phase was the typical phase in the excess Si alloy aged at low temperature or at the early stage during aging.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) has been used to investigate the structural properties of GeMn/Ge nanocolumns multilayer samples grown on Ge(001) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Four bilayers with the spacer thickness in the range between 6 nm and 15 nm and 10 periods of bilayers of Ge[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]/Ge nanocolumn are presented. A simplified 2D model based on the theory of elastic constant interactions has been used to provide reasonable explanations to the vertical self-organization of GeMn nanocolumns in multilayers.
