The precipitates of Al-5Zn-0.02In-1Mg-0.05Ti-0.5Ce (wt %) anode alloy were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses in the present work. The results show that the alloy mainly contains hexagonal structure MgZn2 and tetragonal structure Al2CeZn2 precipitates. From high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction, aluminium, Al2CeZn2 and MgZn2 phases have [0 1 -1]Al|| [1 -10]Al2CeZn2|| [-1 1 0 1]MgZn2orientation relation, and Al2CeZn2 and MgZn2 phases have the [0 2 -1]Al2CeZn2|| [0 1 -10]MgZn2orientation relation.

AbstractThe dodecagonal (dd) quasicrystalline tantalum telluride dd Ta1.6Te and the crystalline approximant Ta97Te60 have been modified by partly replacing tantalum by vanadium. The impact of the substitution on the structures has been studied by X-ray and electron diffraction and by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The layered-type approximant structure of Ta83V14Te60 was determined by single crystal X-ray means. The partitioning of vanadium on 21 out of 29 crystallographically inequivalent metal sites is referred to, but not controlled by the Dirichlet domain volume available at the sites. A HRTEM projection of dd (Ta, V)1.6Te onto the dodecagonal plane is analysed with respect to the arrangement of (Ta, V)151Te74 clusters on the vertices of an irregular aperiodic square-triangle tiling, the edge length of which corresponds to the distance between the centres of two such clusters. The clusters comprise about 1 nm thick corrugated lamellae which are periodically stacked by weak Te-Te interactions.

AbstractA new method for synthesis of 2D nanocrystals in water was proposed. The use of perfluorothiophenolate ions as surfactant allowed us to produce 2D single-crystal nanosheets of CaS at pH=9 and flat nanocrystals of PbS at pH=9 at room temperature. Mesocrystalline nanobelts of CdS and mesocrystals of PbS were obtained at pH=3–5 and pH=10–12, respectively. Morphology, structure and chemical composition of nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. A mechanism of nanoparticles formation was discussed.

AbstractTi doped NaAlH4 hydride is proposed as a reversible hydrogen storage material. In this work, the microstructure of NaAlH4 with 2% TiCl3 additive was studied after 5 hydrogen cycles using a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques including energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) X-ray analysis. Selected area diffraction and high-resolution (HR) imaging confirmed the presence of the NaH phase in the material. Electron diffraction was dominated by Al. HRTEM showed the presence of edge dislocations, which might influence the hydrogen diffusivity process in these materials.

Quasicrystals have special crystal structures with long-range order, but without translational symmetry. Unexpectedly, carousel-like successive flippings of groups of atoms inside the ∼2 nm decagonal structural subunits of the decagonal quasicrystal Al60Cr20Fe10Si10 were directly observed using in situ high-temperature high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging. The observed directionally successive phason flips occur mainly clockwise and occasionally anticlockwise. The origin of these directional phason flips is analyzed and discussed.
