ABSTRACTAmorphous and partially crystalline Fe7 8B1 3 Si9 alloys have been examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy at 200kV. In lattice imaging mode, the as-quenched alloy shows small regions, with a mean size of - 20Å, consisting of well defined patterns of fringes. Three different types of crystals can be identified at the very earliest stages of crystallisation of the alloy.

ABSTRACTThe structure of 500 Å Au/500 A Ge/500 Å Au/GaAs (100) was studied by transmission electron microscopy after annealing at 350 – 500°C. Annealing at 350 – 450°C caused the formation of AuGeAs with a (110) texture, but this phase disappeared after annealing at 500°C. The hexagonal a-AuGa (or AuGa) was formed after annealing at 400°C, such that (111)Au // (0001)a, and [110]AU // [1120]a and there was perfect lattice match between Au (i.e., Au-rich solid solution) and a-AuGa. After annealing at 450°C or above, a phase tentatively identified as the hexagonal Au3Ga was formed and Ge (i.e., Ge-rich solid solution) became epitaxial to (100) GaAs. Annealing at 400°C caused Au to change from no texture to a (110) texture.

A combination of X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to study the crystal structure of molybdenum uranium pentoxide, UMoO5, obtained by hydrothermal and ceramic methods. Crystal data: Mr = 414.0, orthorhombic, Pbaa (number 54), a = 12.746 (1), b = 7.3494 (7), c = 4.1252 (2) Å, V = 386.4 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 7.116 Mg m−3, R = 0.037 for 723 reflections. The structure of UMoO5 is related to that of UVO5. Both are built up by slabs of pentagonal UO7 bipyramids with slabs of MO6 octahedra in-between. They differ in symmetry due to different types of displacement of the M atoms from the ab plane. The HRTEM study revealed a few defect regions in the UMoO5 crystals prepared by ceramic methods. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses indicate a slight excess of uranium in such crystals. Hypothetical models of defect regions are given.

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.
