ABSTRACTThe dislocation structures in rapidly solidified Al3Ti with the DO22 structure and the ternary Al-25Ti-8Ni (at.%) alloy with the L12 structure deformed in compression in the temperature range of 25 to 800°C have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The room temperature deformation microstructure of the Al3Ti compound is characterized by the presence of stacking faults/order twins on {111} planes bounded by partial dislocations with Burgers vector b=1/6<112], as reported by others. At intermediate temperatures, besides the stacking faults, slip is also observed as bands on the {001] plane delineated by dislocations with b=1/2<110] which bound APB's. At 600°C, the reported increase in ductility is associated here with additional slip on the {001)<110], {001)[100] and {001)[010] systems. Dislocations with b=<110] exist as pairs of partial dislocations with b=1/2<110] connected by APB's. The mean separation between the partials was measured to be 30 nm, corresponding to an APB energy of ≍32 mJ.m-2 on the (001) plane. Observations also indicate that the APB energy is anisotropic, i.e., is considerably higher on the {111} planes compared to the {001) plane. The deformation microstructure of the Al-25Ti-8Ni L12 alloy is characterized by slip of dislocations with b=<110> gliding on {111} planes, a major fraction of which exist as dipoles. Following deformation at 300°C, there is essentially no evidence of dissociation of these dislocations, although some dissociated dislocations on (001) having b=l/2<110> are also observed. With an increase in temperature, there is a considerable increase in dislocation activity and strong evidence for 1/2<110> dissociated dislocations is present.

AbstractMonazite (LaPO4) was indented at room temperature. Deformation twin boundaries and stacking faults were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Kinked deformation twins were also characterized and analyzed. Three types of stacking faults associated with climb-dissociated partial dislocations were observed. Two were found on twin boundaries, and a third in the lattice. Formation mechanisms are discussed. The superimposition of stacking faults along twin boundaries during deformation twinning and the glide of climb-dissociated partial dislocations allowed by stacking fault migration are discussed. The possible relationship between the formation mechanisms for these defects and the low- temperature recrystallization and self-annealing of defects in monazite is considered.

AbstractDislocation configurations induced by room temperature microindentations on the (001) face of GaSb (undoped and Te-doped) have been studied using high voltage transmission electron microscopy. Perfect and partial dislocations could be found in all four arms of the dislocation rosette around the indent. Microtwins and rarely single stacking faults are associated with the partials. Contrary to other binary III–V compounds, an “inverse” glide prism along the [1[unk]0]/[[unk]10] rosette arms is created and it is bounded by {111}

The structure of stacking faults and partial dislocations in iron pyrite (FeS2) have been studied using transmission electron microscopy. Pyrite has the NaCl structure in which the sodium ions are replaced by iron and chlorine ions by covalently-bonded pairs of sulfur ions. These sulfur pairs are oriented along the <111> direction. This covalent bond between sulfur atoms is the strongest bond in pyrite with Pa3 space group symmetry. These sulfur pairs are believed to move as a whole during dislocation glide. The lattice structure across these stacking faults is of interest as the presence of these stacking faults has been preliminarily linked to a higher sulfur reactivity in pyrite. Conventional TEM contrast analysis and high resolution lattice imaging of the faulted area in the TEM specimen has been carried out.


Further experiments by transmission electron microscopy on thin sections of stainless steel deformed by small amounts have enabled extended dislocations to be observed directly. The arrangement and motion of whole and partial dislocations have been followed in detail. Many of the dislocations are found to have piled up against grain boundaries. Other observations include the formation of wide stacking faults, the interaction of dislocations with twin boundaries, and the formation of dislocations at thin edges of the foils. An estimate is made of the stacking-fault energy from a consideration of the stresses present, and the properties of the dislocations are found to be in agreement with those expected from a metal of low stacking-fault energy.


Alloys of Al-5% Pb and Al-5% Pb-0.5% Si (by mass) have been manufactured by rapid solidification and then examined by transmission electron microscopy. The rapidly solidified alloy microstructures consist of 5-60 nm Pb particles embedded in an Al matrix. The Pb particles have a cube-cube orientation relation with the Al matrix, and are cub-octahedral in shape, bounded by {100} Al, Pb and {111} Al, Pb facets. The equilibrium Pb particle shape and therefore the anisotropy of solid Al-solid Pb and solid Al-liquid Pb surface energies have been monitored by in situ heating in the transmission electron microscope over the temperature range between room temperature and 550°C. The ani­sotropy of solid Al-solid Pb surface energy is constant between room temperature and the Pb melting point, with a {100} Al, Pb surface energy about 14% greater than the {111} Al, Pb surface energy, in good agreement with geometric near-neighbour bond energy calculations. The {100} AI, Pb facet disappears when the Pb particles melt, and the anisotropy of solid Al-liquid Pb surface energy decreases gradually with increasing temperature above the Pb melting point, until the Pb particles become spherical at about 550°C.

AbstractThe fine structure and the character of a dislocations on prism planes have been determined for room-temperature deformed polycrystalline Ti3Al using a combination of experimental and computational techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Within the resolution limits of the weak-beam technique the fine structure of prism plane a dislocations in Ti3Al is found to be planar and to comprise only a single ribbon of antiphase boundary and no experimentally observable stacking faults.

ZnIn 2 S 4 nanofilms were grown on In 2 S 3 substrates. The band gap of ZnIn 2 S 4 barriers was approximately 2.8 eV at room temperature. The morphology and structure of the obtained nanofilms were already investigated via transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analyses.1,2 In this paper, thermal analyses are performed via a photothermal technique, which has been used to indirectly evaluate the specific heat capacity of the obtained Zn -doped nanofilms. The yielded value for an optimal zinc-to-indium ratio, x (0.33), at the mean room temperature (T∞ = 301 K ), was Cs ≈ 411.5 J K -1 kg -1.

Polarization characteristics of luminescence from partial dislocations (PDs) in 4H-SiC have been investigated by room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) imaging. After expansion of Shockley stacking faults by high-power laser irradiation, PL from PDs tilted by 6° from their Burgers vector (6°-PDs) was observed with almost the same PL peak energy as that of 30°-Si (g) PDs. The PL from the 30°-Si (g) and 6°-PDs which were mobile under illumination were both found to be polarized perpendicular to their dislocation lines. In contrast, the PL from immobile 30°-C(g) PDs was not polarized. The present results suggest that the carriers bound to the 30°-Si (g) and 6°-PDs have anisotropic wave functions and those bound to 30°-C(g)PDs have isotropic wave functions.
