ABSTRACTThis paper describes recent progress on nucleation and growth of oxide precipitates and stacking faults in Czochralski silicon. Conclusions on the growth kinetics of oxide precipitates are drawn from the experiments and analysis of growth kinetics of two-dimensional precipitates: The experimentally obtained growth kinetics, three-quarter power law is theoretically derived and the precipitate growth is demonstrated to be diffusion-limited by oxygen interstitials. The formation mechanism of stacking faults is the Bardeen-Herring mechanism. Based on diffusional growth model, the growth kinetics of stacking faults are analyzed, assuming a coexistence of self-interstitial supersaturation and vacancy undersaturation. It is found that the growth is driven by vacancies in undersaturation. Vacancy component of self-diffusion has been determined and found to be predominant at low temperature. The possibility of growth model proposed for increase of oxide precipitate density during annealing has been excluded. Both processes, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, have been taking place during annealing.

We assigned the growth mechanism of anisotropic tadpole-like gold nanowires to the stable stacking faults and twinned defect formation, with Au-monomer incorporation onto the faulted-faces, resulting in a tail with a mixture of fcc/hcp phases.

A new method to synthesize Si3N4 nanostructures via catalyst-assisted polymeric precursor pyrolysis is present in this article. The as-prepared nanobelts are single crystals with a uniform thickness and width along the entire length, and contain no detectable defects such as dislocations or stacking faults. The thickness and width of Si3N4 nanobelts range from 40 to 60 nm and 600 to 1200 nm, respectively, and the lengths can be up to several millimeters. The growth directions of a-Si3N4 nanobelts are [101] and [100]. A solid-liquid-solid and gas-solid reaction/crystallization is proposed for the growth of S3N4 nonastructures.

Morphological features of montmorillonite aggregates in a large number of samples suggest that they may be formed by a dendritic crystal growth mechanism (i.e., tree-like growth by branching of a growth front).

In studying ion implanted semiconductors and fast neutron irradiated metals, the need for characterizing small dislocation loops having diameters of a few hundred angstrom units usually arises. The weak beam imaging method is a powerful technique for analyzing these loops. Because of the large reduction in stacking fault (SF) fringe spacing at large sg, this method allows for a rapid determination of whether the loop is faulted, and, hence, whether it is a perfect or a Frank partial loop. This method was first used by Bicknell to image small faulted loops in boron implanted silicon. He explained the fringe spacing by kinematical theory, i.e., ≃l/(Sg) in the fault fringe in depth oscillation. The fault image contrast formation mechanism is, however, really more complicated.

Recently, it has become essential to develop a helpful method of the complete crystallographic identification of fine fragmented crystals. This was maainly due to the investigation into structural regularity of large plastic strains. The method should be practicable for determining crystallographic orientation (CO) of elastically stressed micro areas of the order of several micron fractions in size and filled with λ>1010 cm-2 density dislocations or stacking faults. The method must provide the misorientation vectors of the adjacent fragments when the angle ω changes from 0 to 180° with the accuracy of 0,3°. The problem is that the actual electron diffraction patterns obtained from fine fragmented crystals are the superpositions of reflections from various fragments, though more than one or two reflections from a fragment are hardly possible. Finally, the method should afford fully automatic computerized processing of the experimental results.The proposed method meets all the above requirements. It implies the construction for a certain base position of the crystal the orientation matrix (0M) A, which gives a single intercorrelation between the coordinates of the unity vector in the reference coordinate system (RCS) and those of the same vector in the crystal reciprocal lattice base : .

It has long been known that defects such as stacking faults and voids can be quenched from various alloyed metals heated to near their melting point. Today it is common practice to irradiate samples with various ionic species of rare gases which also form voids containing solidified phases of the same atomic species, e.g. ref. 3. Equivalently, electron irradiation has been used to produce damage events, e.g. ref. 4. Generally all of the above mentioned studies have relied on diffraction contrast to observe the defects produced down to a dimension of perhaps 10 to 20Å. Also all these studies have used ions or electrons which exceeded the damage threshold for knockon events. In the case of higher resolution studies the present author has identified vacancy and interstitial type chain defects in ion irradiated Si and was able to identify both di-interstitial and di-vacancy chains running through the foil.

One of the major purposes in the present work is to study the high temperature sulfidation properties of Nb in severe sulfidizing environments. Kinetically, the sulfidation rate of Nb is satisfactorily slow, but the microstructures and non-stoichiometry of Nb1+αS2 challenge conventional oxidation/sulfidation theory and defect models of non-stoichiometric compounds. This challenge reflects our limited knowledge of the dependence of kinetics and atomic migration processes in solid state materials on their defect structures.Figure 1 shows a high resolution image of a platelet from the middle portion of the Nb1+αS2 scale. A thin lamellar heterogeneity (about 5nm) is observed. From X-ray diffraction results, we have shown that Nb1+αS2 scale is principally rhombohedral structure, but 2H-NbS2 can result locally due to stacking faults, because the only difference between these 2H and 3R phases is variation in the stacking sequence along the c axis. Following an ABC notation, we use capital letters A, B and C to represent the sulfur layer, and lower case letters a, b and c to refer to Nb layers. For example, the stacking sequence of 2H phase is AbACbCA, which is a ∼12Å period along the c axis; the stacking sequence of 3R phase is AbABcBCaCA to form an ∼18Å period along the c axis. Intergrowth of these two phases can take place at stacking faults or by a shear in the basal plane normal to the c axis.

The structure of stacking faults and partial dislocations in iron pyrite (FeS2) have been studied using transmission electron microscopy. Pyrite has the NaCl structure in which the sodium ions are replaced by iron and chlorine ions by covalently-bonded pairs of sulfur ions. These sulfur pairs are oriented along the <111> direction. This covalent bond between sulfur atoms is the strongest bond in pyrite with Pa3 space group symmetry. These sulfur pairs are believed to move as a whole during dislocation glide. The lattice structure across these stacking faults is of interest as the presence of these stacking faults has been preliminarily linked to a higher sulfur reactivity in pyrite. Conventional TEM contrast analysis and high resolution lattice imaging of the faulted area in the TEM specimen has been carried out.
