AbstractTo obtain deeper understanding of the Ð structure, the formation of the Ð structure in the (bcc¨bcc+Ð) reaction at 873K and 1173K have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. As for the orientation relationship between the bcc and Ð structures, as a results, both the common first relation of [110]bcc//[110]Ð and three second relations given by α=0°, 33°, and 64° were found in the 1173K annealing, where α is an angle between the [_110]bcc and [001]Ð directions. In the 873K annealing, on the other hand, there was only one second relation with α=0°. Based on the α=0° relation found in both annealing temperatures, the features of atomic shifts in the Ð-structure formation were also discussed.

The precipitates in the base metal and the fusion zone of an Alloy 600/182 weld were characterized through a transmission electron microscopy. Precipitates in the Alloy 600 base metal were identified as Cr7C3. On the other hand, (Nb,Ti)C, Al-rich and Ti-rich oxides were found on the dendritic interfaces, and tiny Cr-rich M23C6 were distributed on the grain boundaries in the Alloy 182 fusion zone.

This paper presents a detailed study of large grains carried out by transmission electron microscopy in two WC-Co alloys, one W rich and the other C rich. In the W rich alloy, some large grains are found in contact with the η phase while no connection of the large grains with graphite particles can be pointed out in the C rich alloy. The C content greatly influences the morphology of large grains: they are flatter in the C rich alloy with smoother interfaces. Whatever the C content, they contain few dislocations compared to matrix grains except in a small area where a dense network is often present. One or even several small WC grains with a small angle misorientation or with a Σ=2 coincidence relationship are often found inside the large grains. They have likely been engulfed during the growth of the large grains owing to the low boundary energy.

ABSTRACTVoid formation in stoichiometric NiAl was studied through controlled heat treatments and transmission electron microscopy. Voids formed at temperatures as low as 400°C, but dissolved during annealing at 900°C. Both cuboidal and rhombic dodecahedral voids were observed, often at the same annealing temperature. At higher annealing temperatures (>800°C) extensive dislocation climb was noted. The relative incidence of void formation and dislocation climb can be related to the mobility of vacancies at each annealing temperature. Further, differences in void shape can be described in terms of their relative surface energy and mode of nucleation.

Interfacial precipitation in sol-gel derived, titania-doped diphasic mullite gels was investigated using conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Rutile, anatase, and brookite precipitated on the interface between {110} planes of mullite and glass pockets in the sintered body. The formation of brookite may be attributable to the Si- and Al-rich environment during precipitation. Each polymorph of titania has a unique morphology and orientation relationship with mullite. Brookite exhibits a truncated pill box shape, and anatase displays a vermicular morphology. Quenching experiments suggest that the precipitates grow and undergo phase transformations during cooling.

Several hundred vegetative and fertile specimens of Azolla Lam. have been recovered from the Paleocene Paskapoo Formation at the Joffre Bridge locality (Middle Tiffanian (Ti3) age) near Red Deer, Alberta. The spore complexes closely resemble those of the Paleocene A. stanleyi Jain & Hall, and the vegetative material is referred to that species. The specimens are unusually complete in that the remains of the fragile sporophyte are preserved, commonly with reproductive structures in place. Plants reaching up to 2.25 cm in length consist of alternately branched rhizomes bearing alternate, imbricate, sessile leaves. Leaves are ovate with entire margins, papillate surfaces, and a single midvein. Reproductive structures have been examined using light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. This new material is compared with the other Paleocene species for which sporophytes are known and discussed in terms of evolutionary trends for the genus. The specimens suggest that most of the vegetative characteristics of modern Azolla species were established by the middle Paleocene. Key words: Azolla, Salviniaceae, megaspore, massula, ultrastructure, Paleocene.

Sabinaria magnifica is so far the only known species in the recently discovered tropical palm genus Sabinaria (Arecaceae). Here we present a complete description of the pollen morphology of this palm species based on light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We also made SEM-based comparisons of Sabinaria with other genera within the tribe Cryosophileae. Pollen grains of Sabinaria magnifica resemble the other genera in the heteropolar, slightly asymmetric monads, and the monosulcate and tectate exine with perforate surface. Nevertheless, there are some clear differences with Thrinax, Chelyocarpus and Cryosophila in terms of aperture and exine. S. magnifica differs from its closest relative, Itaya amicorum, in the exine structure. This study shows that a combination of microscope techniques is essential for the identification of different genera within the Cryosophileae and may also be a necessary when working with other palynologically less distinct palm genera.

Kaolinite mixed with calcite was sintered at low temperature (1100 °C; 5 °C/min). The successive phase transformations are metakaolinite to gehlenite and then anorthite, although the available phase diagram indicates a direct anorthite recrystallization. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction studies of nanocrystallites revealed that the transformation path is favored by the structural similarities of phases. In particular, the pseudolayers of gehlenite have a major orientation relationship with the initial metakaolinite layers. The gehlenite axis, [001]G, is parallel to the metakaolinite axis, [001]A. This direct transition is favored by the existence of Si tetrahedral units and 4–fold–coordinated Al in both structures. Ca atoms, initially in the interlayer spacing of metakaolinite, remain in the interlayers of gehlenite. During the second transformation step, anorthite recrystallizes from gehlenite with axis [020]A parallel to [210]G. It is proposed that this orientation relationship is favored by the orientation and shape of Ca-atom channels through both structures, along [001]G and [100]A axes.

AbstractThe coarsening of CoSi2 precipitates and the microstructural evolution of (111) Si implanted with 200 keV Co+ ions at 350°C and fluences of 1×1016cm−2 and 6×1016cm−2 were investigated as a function of depth, annealing temperature and annealing time using Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). After annealing cross-section TEM micrographs show a layered array of platelet-shaped precipitates with preferred facets on {111} planes. The fraction of Co-atoms, that were redistributed during the different annealing temperatures and times, has been used to determine an activation energy for the precipitate coarsening. By applying the Meechan-Brinkman and the change-of-slope methods, we obtained activation energies in the range of 3.2 – 3.6 eV.

AbstractTransmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to investigate the dissolution behavior of nanocrystalline grain boundary T1 precipitates in Al-3Cu-2Li. These grain boundary T1 plates exhibit an orientation relation with matrix, with the (1-11)α-Al parallel to (0001)T1 and [022]α-Al parallel to [10-10]T1, which is similar to the orientation relationship of T1 plates formed within grains. TEM studies showed that these grain boundary T1 plates react readily in moist air. As a result of the localized dissolution, the Cu-rich clusters form onto T1, which is consistent with the localized dissolution behavior observed in nanocrystalline S phase in Al-Cu-Mg.

ABSTRACTThe influences of implantation impurities, including BF2, B, F, As and P on the formation of epitaxial NiSi2 in nickel thin films on ion-implanted silicon have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy.The presence of BF2, B, and F atoms was observed to promote the epitaxial growth of NiSi2 at low temperatures. Little or no effect on the formation of NiSi2 was found in samples implanted with As or P ions.The results indicated that the influences of the implantation impurities are not likely to be electronic in origin. Good correlation, on the other hand, was found between the atomic size factor and resulting stress and NiSi2 epitaxy at low temperatures.
