Barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT)-bismuth magnesium titanate (Bi (Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3, BMT)-bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3, BF) solid solution ceramics were prepared using a conventional solidstate synthesis, and their piezoelectric properties and microstructure were investigated. Strain electric field curves of the 0.3BT-0.1BMT-0.6BF ceramics with a single perovskite phase were ferroelectric butterfly-like curves. A strain maximum / electric field maximum (Smax/Emax) was 330 pm/V. Transmission electron microscopy revealed ferroelectric-like domain structure in the 0.3BT-0.1BMT-0.6BF ceramics.

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.

The orientation relationship (OR) and the interfacial structure between Nb solid solution (Nbss) precipitates and α-Nb5Si3 intermetallics have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The OR between Nbss and α-Nb5Si3 was determined by selected-area electron diffraction analyses as (222)Nb//(002)α and . High-resolution TEM images of the Nbss/α-Nb5Si3 interface were presented. Steps existed at the interface that acted as centers of stress concentration and released the distortion of lattices to decrease the interfacial energy. In addition, the interfacial models were proposed based on the observed OR to describe the atomic matching of the interface. The distribution of alloying elements at the Nbss/α-Nb5Si3 interface has also been investigated, and Hf was enriched at the interface to strengthen the grain boundary.

We investigated domain structures in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3(PZT) ceramics whose composition lies on the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and evaluated the piezoelectric properties of PZT. We found that monoclinic nanosized domains (nanodomains), which form in tetragonal domains, strongly correlated with the piezoelectric properties of PZT. The degree of formation of nanodomains depends on the grain composition. Thus, controlling the homogeneity of grain composition in the ceramics is crucial for optimizing the piezoelectric properties of PZT.

AbstractThe structure of a Ti−(50.9 at % Ni) nanocrystalline alloy is studied by transmission electron microscopy after annealing at 300−500°C. It is found that B2-TiNi solid solution decomposition according to a heterogeneous mechanism with formation of Ti_3Ni_4 particles develops in the subgrain structure and is suppressed in nanograins. The regularities of recovery, polygonization, and recrystallization in the grain/subgrain structure of a nanocrystalline TiNi alloy are established and their interconnection with processes of dissolution and coagulation of Ti_3Ni_4 particles is identified.

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is one of the most promising materials for use in hybrid optical waveguide devices because of its high electro-optic coefficient and its availability as large single crystals. Optical waveguides in LiNbO3 are most commonly made by Ti indiffusion in which strips of Ti metal (between 10 and 100 nm thick) are deposited on a single crystal LiNbO3 substrate. The device is then heated to temperatures around 1000°C typically for 6 hours. During this time, the Ti diffuses into the LiNbO3 to form a Ti-rich LiNbO3 solid solution. This solid solution has a higher refractive index than the substrate and forms the waveguide region. Factors controlling the indiffusion process, however, are not very well understood and very little is known about the microstructural changes which occur during Ti indiffusion. In this study, the microstructure of Ti:LiNbO3 optical waveguides was examined as a function of time and temperature using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
