Evidence for ordering (1-6) of interstitial impurities (O and C) has been obtained in b.c.c. metals, such as niobium and tantalum. In this paper we report the atomic and microstructural changes in an oxygenated c.p.h. metal (alpha titanium) as observed by transmission electron microscopy and diffraction.Oxygen was introduced into zone-refined iodide titanium sheets of 0.005 in. thickness in an atmosphere of oxygen and argon at 650°C, homogenized at 800°C and furnace-cooled in argon. Subsequently, thin foils were prepared by electrolytic polishing and examined in a JEM-7 electron microscope, operated at 100 KV.

Abstract In this paper a combined etching and electropolishing method to prepare thin Tellurium foils for transmission electron microscopy is described. This technique may be applied to massive sam-ples and is suitable for the preparation of thin foils at arbitrary points of deformed material. Speci-mens from deformed Tellurium single crystals were prepared in this way and examined in the electron microscope. Dislocations and grain boundaries were observed in these specimens.

A new 1-MeV transmission electron microscope (Model JEM-1000) was installed at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado in Boulder during the summer and fall of 1972 under the sponsorship of the Division of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The installation was completed in October, 1972. It is installed primarily for the study of biological materials without many of the limitations hitherto unavoidable in standard transmission electron microscopy. Only the technical characteristics of the installation are briefly reviewed here. A more detailed discussion of the experimental program under way is being published elsewhere.

Interpretation of electron microscope images of crystalline lattice defects can be greatly aided by computer simulation of theoretical contrast from continuum models of such defects in thin foils. Several computer programs exist at the present time, but none are sufficiently general to permit their use as an aid in the identification of the range of defect types encountered in electron microscopy. This paper presents progress in the development of a more general computer program for this purpose which eliminates a number of restrictions contained in other programs. In particular, the program permits a variety of foil geometries and defect types to be simulated.The conventional approximation of non-interacting columns is employed for evaluation of the two-beam dynamical scattering equations by a piecewise solution of the Howie-Whelan equations.

The nature of a geologic fluid can often be inferred from fluid-filled cavities (generally <100 μm in size) that are trapped during the growth of a mineral. A variety of techniques enables the fluids and daughter crystals (any solid precipitated from the trapped fluid) to be identified from cavities greater than a few micrometers. Many minerals, however, contain fluid inclusions smaller than a micrometer. Though inclusions this small are difficult or impossible to study by conventional techniques, they are ideally suited for study by analytical/ transmission electron microscopy (A/TEM) and electron diffraction. We have used this technique to study fluid inclusions and daughter crystals in diamond and feldspar.Inclusion-rich samples of diamond and feldspar were ion-thinned to electron transparency and examined with a Philips 420T electron microscope (120 keV) equipped with an EDAX beryllium-windowed energy dispersive spectrometer. Thin edges of the sample were perforated in areas that appeared in light microscopy to be populated densely with inclusions. In a few cases, the perforations were bound polygonal sides to which crystals (structurally and compositionally different from the host mineral) were attached (Figure 1).

As part of a program to develop iron particles for next generation recording disk medium, their structural properties were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Iron particles are a more desirable recording medium than iron oxide, the most widely used material in disk manufacturing, because they offer a higher magnetic output and a higher coercive force. The particles were prepared by a method described elsewhere. Because of their strong magnetic interaction, a method had to be developed to separate the particles on the electron microscope grids.

Shock compression experiments on powder mixtures of niobium metal and quartz were conducted for the pressure range of 30–40 GPa by a 25-mm single-stage propellant gun. Chemical reaction occurred above 35 GPa, and products were found to be mainly so-called “Cu3Au-type” Nb3Si, which contained a small amount of oxygen. Microtextures of the specimen were examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. A field-emission transmission electron microscope was used for energy-dispersive x-ray analysis of microtextures in small particles found in the SiO2 matrix, and various species with different Nb/Si ratio and oxygen content were shown to be produced through the nonequilibrium process of shock compression.

AbstractThis paper presents investigations of magnetization configuration evolution during in-situ magnetic processes in materials exhibiting planar and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to perform magnetic imaging. Fresnel contrasts in Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy (LTEM) and phase retrieval methods such as Transport of Intensity Equation (TIE) solving or electron holography have been implemented. These techniques are sensitive to magnetic induction perpendicular to the electron beam and can give access to a spatially resolved (resolution better than 10 nm) mapping of magnetic induction distribution and could be extended to dynamical studies during in-situ observation. Thin foils of FePd alloys with a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and self-assembled Fe dots are presented. Both are studied during magnetization processes exhibiting the capacities of in-situ magnetic imaging in a TEM.

AbstractPre-thinned foils composed of amorphous silicon and polycrystalline cobalt were irradiated using femtosecond pulse-length lasers at fluences sufficient for ablation (material removal). The resultant ablated hole and surrounding vicinity was studied using transmission electron microscopy to determine modifications to the structure. Evidence of cobalt silicide formation was observed within a 3 micron radius of the laser hole edge by use of selected area electron diffraction (SAED). In addition, elongated grains of crystalline silicon was observed within 500 nm of the laser hole edge, indicating melting of the amorphous silicon and heat dissipation slow enough to allow recyrstallization. This initial work demonstrates the use of pre-designed nanostructured multilayer systems as a method for nanoscale profiling of heat dissipation following pulsed laser irradiation.
