For the study of phase transformation and structure change of crystals at low temperature in atomic scale, flowing liquid He specimen cooling holder has been constructed. It was aimed to achieve the low temperature without giving any effects to the resolution and analytical function of JEM-4000EX such as X-ray detection system and goniometer functions. The pole piece of electron lens used in this experiment has the following functions, i.e. Cs=2.88mm Cc=2.69mm f=3.55mm and the resolution is 0.34nm. The present specimen stage can be tilted ±20 degrees to X- and Y-directions inside of this pole piece. In connection of double tilt mechanism and protection of heat loss, double layered bellows are fabricated at the entrance of driving mechanism. At this point every vibrations from outside of the microscope such as from pumping out system of introduced liquid helium (the pipe A in Fig. 1) would be extinguished. This mechanism is fabricated in the vacuum box (marked by B in Fig.1).

Single- and multilayer graphene and highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) were exposed to a pure hydrogen low-temperature plasma (LTP). Characterizations include various experimental techniques such as photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy. Our photoemission measurement shows that hydrogen LTP exposed HOPG has a diamond-like valence-band structure, which suggests double-sided hydrogenation. With the scanning tunneling microscopy technique, various atomic-scale charge-density patterns were observed, which may be associated with different C–H conformers. Hydrogen-LTP-exposed graphene on SiO2 has a Raman spectrum in which the D peak to G peak ratio is over 4, associated with hydrogenation on both sides. A very low defect density was observed in the scanning probe microscopy measurements, which enables a reverse transformation to graphene. Hydrogen-LTP-exposed HOPG possesses a high thermal stability, and therefore, this transformation requires annealing at over 1000 °C.

AbstractRecently, we have designed and produced several transition metal Laves phases with low-temperature compressive ductility. These improved alloys demonstrate that manipulation of atomic-scale structure can have a drastic effect on meso-scale deformation behavior. To gain a basic understanding of the role of atomic-scale substitutions on the room temperature mechanical properties, a systematic investigation of the Laves ZrCr2-based alloy system alloyed with Hf, Nb, Ta and Ti was conducted and is reported here. Extensive room temperature ductility was obtained in the Hf-alloyed ternary Laves phase alloy system. Mechanical twinning is found to be the predominant deformation mode at room temperature in this alloy system. It is emphasized that Hf substitution in the Zr sublattice of ZrCr2 may play the most prominent role in changing the local electronic structure resulting in easier twinning.

Spatial variation of low temperature tunneling spectrum on atomic scale was examined on the slightly underdoped Bi 2212 sample (Tc~74 K , p~0.12) by using a STM/STS technique. We observed a V-shaped gap with sharp coherence peaks, which is expected for d-wave superconductors, over the distance of ~18 nm and no other kind of gap. The spatial variation of gap size Δ0 is small, ranging from 41 to 53 meV . These results indicate that the superconductivity takes place rather homogeneously in the slightly underdoped sample.
