AbstractIn this work we explore both the initial nucleation and the stoichiometry of rutile-TiO2(001) grown on wurtzite GaN(0001) by radio-frequency O2-plasma molecular beam epitaxy. Two studies are performed; in the first, the dependence of the growth on stoichiometry (Ti-rich and O-rich) is observed using reflection high energy electron diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the second study we examine the effect of different initial nucleation surfaces (i.e. Ga-terminated and excess Ga-terminated) and compare the interfaces and bulk crystallinity of the TiO2(001) films grown on top of these surfaces. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction measurements show a better interface for TiO2(001)/Ga-terminated - GaN(0001) as compared to the TiO2(001)/excess Ga-terminated- GaN(0001).

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.

The structure and hardness of C60 bulk specimens compressed under 5.5 GPa at room temperature to 600 °C are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and micro-Vickers hardness tests. A strong accumulation of the [1 1 0]tr orientation of high-pressure-treated C60 specimens was developed along the compression axis, and stacking faults and nano-sized deformation twins were introduced into the C60 specimens compressed at 450–600 °C. Curved lattice planes indicating a polymerization of C60 were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The polymerization of the high-pressure-compressed C60 is also supported by the computer simulation of HRTEM images.

ABSTRACTThe reaction between Ni60Ta40 amorphous alloy and (001) GaAs was studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, Auger spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. At 400°C formation of Ni GaAs at the interface with GaAs was observed. After heat treatment at 600°C in vacuum a layered structure of TaAs/NiGa/GaAs has been formed. The NiGa layer has epitaxial relations to the GaAs substrate. The vertical phase separation can be explained by opposite diffusion directions of nickel and arsenic atoms.

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy was used to grow EuTe(x)/PbTe(y) short period superlattices with x=1-4 EuTe(111) monolayers alternating with y≈3x PbTe monolayers. The superlattices were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. Regions with double periodicity were observed coexisting with areas of nominal periodicity. The sample with x=3.5 and y=9, for example, contains regions with double periodicity of x=7 and y=17. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the formation of the double periodicity in these samples by the appearance of weak satellites in between the satellites of the nominal periodicity. The double periodicity in the superlattice is believed to result from interdiffusion during the growth. A model for this process is presented.

A series of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, substituted with manganese di-oxide, have been synthesized through a modified ceramic route using urea as a fuel. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies indicate that the sizes of the ZnO particles are of nanometer dimension. Particles remain as single phase when the doping concentration is below 15 mol%. Small-angle neutron scattering indicates fractal-like agglomerates of these nanoparticles in powder form. The size distributions of the particles have been estimated from scattering experiments as well as microscopy studies. The average particle size estimated from small-angle scattering experiments was found to be somewhat more than that obtained from X-ray diffraction or electron microscopy measurement.
