ABSTRACTOriented deposits are commonplace in vapor deposited films. The origins of this behavior are not always clear. Various bcc metals (Fe, Nb, Mo, Ta, Cr) have been deposited onto single crystal fcc substrates (Au, Ni, MgO, Si, NaCI) which were selected with the intention of varying the character of the substrate-deposit interaction. The resulting structures have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. The observed variants of the cube-cube and Nishiyama-Wassermann orientation relationship can be understood in terms of minimization of misfit except when there is a weak interaction between substrate and deposit.

AbstractX-ray diffraction (XRD) line-broadening analysis has been used to determine dislocation densities in zirconium alloys with hexagonal closepacked (hep) crystal structures and a complex distribution of dislocations reflecting the plastic, anisotropy of the material. The validity of the technique has been assessed by comparison with direct measurements of dislocation densities in deformed polycrystalline and neutron-irradiated single crystal material using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that-there is good agreement between the XRD and TEM for measurements on the deformed material whereas there is a large discrepancy for measurements on the irradiated single crystal; the XRD measurements significantly underestimating the TEM observations.

In numerous research fields, especially the applications of electron and X-ray diffraction, stereographic projection represents a powerful tool for researchers. SPICA is a new computer program for stereographic projection in interactive crystallographic analysis, which inherits features from the previous JECP/SP and includes more functions for extensive crystallographic analysis. SPICA provides fully interactive options for users to plot stereograms of crystal directions and crystal planes, traces, and Kikuchi maps for an arbitrary crystal structure; it can be used to explore the orientation relationships between two crystalline phases with a composite stereogram; it is also used to predict the tilt angles of transmission electron microscopy double-tilt and rotation holders in electron diffraction experiments. In addition, various modules are provided for essential crystallographic calculations.

Single-crystal penetrators of tungsten having orientations of [100], [111], and [110] were ballistically deformed into targets of standard armor material and characterized by optical metallography, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods, which showed significant differences in their deformation mechanisms and microstructures corresponding to their deformation performance as measured by the penetration of the target. The [100] single-crystal penetrator, which produced the most energy efficient deformation, provided a new, alternative mechanism for ballistic deformation by forming small single-crystal blocks, defined by {100} oriented cracks, which rotated during extrusion from the interior to the side of the penetrator while maintaining their single crystal integrity. The [111] single-crystal penetrator transferred mass along allowed, high-angle deformation planes to the penetrator’s side where a buildup of mass mushroomed the tip until the built-up mass let go along the sides of the penetrator, creating a wavy cavity. The [110] penetrator, which produced the least energy-efficient deformation, has only two allowed deformation planes, cracked and rotated to invoke other deformation planes.

The structure of the δ1pphase in the iron−zinc system has been refined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy. The large hexagonal unit cell of the δ1pphase with the space group ofP63/mmccomprises more or less regular (normal) Zn12icosahedra, disordered Zn12icosahedra, Zn16icosioctahedra and dangling Zn atoms that do not constitute any polyhedra. The unit cell contains 52 Fe and 504 Zn atoms so that the compound is expressed with the chemical formula of Fe13Zn126. All Fe atoms exclusively occupy the centre of normal and disordered icosahedra. Iron-centred normal icosahedra are linked to one another by face- and vertex-sharing forming two types of basal slabs, which are bridged with each other by face-sharing with icosioctahedra, whereas disordered icosahedra with positional disorder at their vertex sites are isolated from other polyhedra. The bonding features in the δ1pphase are discussed in comparison with those in the Γ and ζ phases in the iron−zinc system.

QuaSiC TM substrates can be obtained by transferring a single crystal SiC layer onto a poly SiC substrate using the Smart Cut TM technology. The structure evolution of metal bonding (W-Si silicide) layer has been investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Results indicate that the metal bonding film is made of W5Si3. The film is discontinuous and strained. Annealing releases stress at least partially.

Single-crystal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoflakes have been successfully synthesized at 160°C with 8M NaOH by a hydrothermal method assisted by sodium nitrate. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The presence of sodium nitrate was found to play an important role in the growth of single-crystal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoflakes.
