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.

Simple thermolysis routes to CdS, ZnS, and CoP nanorods have been developed in our laboratory. The structural properties of the nanorods obtained were elucidated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Arguments and calculations in support of the contention that intrinsic rather than extrinsic factors influence the solution-phase growth of nanorods are presented.

By using Zr6.5(Sb2Te3)93.5 film, Te nanowires with a diameter of 5 to 30 nm were fabricated through annealing process. The results of the bright field TEM images, selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) demonstrated that the nanowire fitted well with Te hexagonal Te (P3121) structure. The EDS mapping implies that Zr element bonded with Te element and induced the formation of single crystalline Te nanowire during the annealing process.

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.
