Partially-stabilized ZrO2 (PSZ) ceramics have considerable potential for advanced structural applications because of their high strength and toughness. These properties derive from small tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) precipitates in a cubic (c) ZrO2 matrix, which transform martensitically to monoclinic (m) symmetry under applied stresses. The kinetics of the martensitic transformation is believed to be nucleation controlled and the nucleation is always stress induced. In situ observation of the martensitic transformation using transmission electron microscopy provides considerable information about the nucleation and growth aspects of the transformation.

ABSTRACTNucleation and growth processes of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in iron catalyzed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have been observed by means of in-situ environmental transmission electron microscopy. Our atomic scale observations demonstrate that solid state iron carbide (Fe3C) nanoparticles act as catalyst for the CVD growth of CNTs. Iron carbide nanoparticles are structurally fluctuated in CVD condition. Growth of CNTs can be simply explained by bulk diffusion of carbon atoms since nanoparticles are carbide.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the reactions at metal-metalloid interfaces using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, including in situ observation, and differential scanning calorimetry. There is contrasting behavior depending on the affinity for interaction or segregation. For reactive systems, compound formation ultimately results, but this can be preceded by solidstate amorphization. For non-reactive systems, crystallization of the metalloid is often achieved with nucleation and growth mediated by the metal phase.
