We present the development of in situ wet environmental transmission electron microscopy (Wet-ETEM) for direct probing of controlled liquid–catalyst reactions at operating temperatures on the nanoscale. The first nanoscale imaging and electron diffraction of dynamic liquid hydrogenation and polymerization reactions in the manufacture of polyamides reported here opens up new opportunities for high resolution studies of a wide range of solution–solid and solution–gas–solid reactions in the chemical and biological sciences.

ABSTRACTThis contribution deals with fundamental and applied concepts in nano-structured coatings, in particular focusing on the characterization with high-resolution (transmission) electron microscopy. Both unbalanced and balanced magnetron sputtering systems were used to deposit nc-TiC/a-C nanocomposite coatings with hydrogenated or hydrogen-free amorphous carbon (a-C) matrix, respectively. The contents of Ti and C in the coatings have been varied over a wide range (7∼45 at.% Ti) by changing the flow rate of acetylene gas or the locations of substrates relative to the center of C/TiC targets. Different levels of bias voltage and deposition pressure were used to control the nanostructure. The nanocomposite coatings exhibit hardness of 5∼35 GPa, hardness/E-modulus ratio up to 0.15, wear rate of 4.8×10−17 m3/Nm, coefficient of friction of 0.04 under dry sliding and strong self-lubrication effects. The nanostructure and elemental distribution in the coatings have been characterized with cross-sectional and planar high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy filtered TEM. The influences of the volume fraction and size distribution of nano-crystallites TiC (nc-TiC) on the coating properties were examined.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) has been used to investigate the structural properties of GeMn/Ge nanocolumns multilayer samples grown on Ge(001) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Four bilayers with the spacer thickness in the range between 6 nm and 15 nm and 10 periods of bilayers of Ge[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]/Ge nanocolumn are presented. A simplified 2D model based on the theory of elastic constant interactions has been used to provide reasonable explanations to the vertical self-organization of GeMn nanocolumns in multilayers.
