In Situ Heating

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoindentation, both with in situ heating capability, and electrical resistivity measurements were used to investigate phase transformation phenomena and thermomechanical behavior of shape-memory titanium-nickel (TiNi) films. The mechanisms responsible for phase transformation in the nearly equiatomic TiNi films were revealed by heating and cooling the samples inside the TEM vacuum chamber. Insight into the deformation behavior of the TiNi films was obtained from the nanoindentation response at different temperatures. A transition from elastic-plastic to pseudoelastic deformation of the martensitic TiNi films was encountered during indentation and heating. In contrast to the traditional belief, the martensitic TiNi films exhibited a pseudoelastic behavior during nanoindentation within a specific temperature range. This unexpected behavior is interpreted in terms of the evolution of martensitic variants and changes in the mobility of the twinned structures in the martensitic TiNi films, observed with the TEM during in situ heating.

Microstructural Studies

ABSTRACTSome typical microstructural studies of polycrystalline silicon using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are described, including the application of this material for assisting TEM investigations themselves. Examples include oxidation and realignment of polysilicon thin films, the structure of polysilicon in EEPROM devices, polysilicon in trench capacitors and measurement of SiO2 layer thicknesses with polysilicon overlayers. It is also shown tha grain growth in heavily phosphorus doped polysilicon films can be followed by in situ heating in the TEM.

In Situ Heating

Metallic multilayers of Cu/Al/Ti composition were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and plasmon energy-loss mapping as prototypes of nanoscale reactive multilayer systems with exothermic alloy formation in oxygen-free conditions. The selection and arrangement of alloy phases by the system during ex situ and in situ heating experiments were found to depend not only on temperature but strongly on the initial volume ratios of metals, and to a lesser degree on the dimensionality of the reactive sample. Here, a two-dimensional sample was represented by ex situ heating of the full multilayer structure, a one-dimensional sample refers to in situ heating of thin cross-sectional TEM specimens, while a zero-dimensional sample (or metallic dot-array) was obtained after cutting thin pillars using focused ion beams. Lamellar self-organized alternation between Heusler phase and Cu9Al4 was found.
