Transmission microscopy, electron diffraction and scanning microscopy were used to study directly the microstructure of spinodal alloys and to correlate the fracture mode of aged tensile specimens with the microstruetural changes. The kinetics of spinodal decomposition for two copper-nickel-iron alloys were experimentally studied by heat treating specimens as described by Butler and Thomas. The aging times inside the spinodal ranged from one minute to 1000 hours. Thin foils for transmission electron microscopy were prepared by first using a chemical polish containing nitric, hydrochloric and acetic acids and then by electropolishing in a chromic oxide-acetic acid solution.

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.

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.

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.

AbstractHigh resolution transmission electron microscopy during in‐situ quenching of YBa2Cu3Oz is used to study the kinetics of microdomain formation during oxygen loss in this system. Image simulations based on atomic models of oxygen‐vacancy order in the basal plane of this material generated by Monte Carlo calculations are used to interpret high resolution micrographs of the structures obtained by quenching. The observed domain structures agree well with those obtained from the simualtions.
