In this study, magnesium alloy AZ31 was successfully welded with aluminum alloy 6061 by diffusion bonding method. In addition, annealing process was applied to refine micro-structure and improve mechanical property. Microstructure and elemental distribution of interface were investigated with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA). Furthermore, experiments on diffusion bonded specimens with the usage of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) were carried out. At last, tensile strength was measured. It can be obtained that the width of diffusion layers increase with the increasing annealing temperatures. Elemental distribution of specimens with annealing were more uniform than that without annealing. The intermetallic compounds in diffusion layers are Al3Mg2 and Al12Mg17, their crystal structure are respectively face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc). What’s more, tensile strength turns to be strongest after annealing at 250°C.

In this study, magnesium alloy AZ91, which was cast by double roll casting system, was rolled by a rolling mill. Then, rolled magnesium alloy and magnesium alloy without being rolled were, respectively, welded with aluminum alloy 6061 by diffusion bonding method. Furthermore, annealing process was applied to refine the microstructure and improve mechanical property. The microstructure and elemental distribution of diffusion zone were investigated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA), and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). In addition, hardness and tensile strength were measured. When cast magnesium alloy was used, the width of diffusion layers was wider than that with rolled magnesium alloy. And the width increased with the increasing annealing temperatures. Element distribution of specimens with annealing was more uniform than that did not undergo annealing process. Furthermore, tensile strength turns to be strongest after annealing at 250°C. And the strength of the specimens with rolled magnesium alloy was stronger than that with cast magnesium alloy which was not rolled.

The microstructures of three kinds of synthetical solid FeS, acting as a solid lubricant, which includes FeS bulk, FeS particle and FeS powder, were studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM) in this article. The TEM photographs showed that different shapes of FeS had quite dissimilar characteristics. The texture of FeS powder was the loosest among the three shapes, and it tended to forming flocculent aggregation; while FeS bulk and FeS particle were more dispersive. The electron diffraction results showed that the crystals of solid FeS were composed of many single crystals and multi-crystals, with two kinds of crystalline structure- hexagonal structure and face-centered cubic structure.

The microstructure evolution and properties of a Cu–Cr–Ag alloy during continuous extrusion and an aging process were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Owing to strong shear deformation that happened during continuous extrusion with working temperatures of 450 to 480 °C, a larger number of fine grains were obtained. Both face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) precipitates simultaneously existed in the matrix when aged for 450 °C for 2 h, and the Cr phases with BCC structure had an N–W relationship with the matrix. After continuous extrusion, 60% cold deformation, 875 °C × 1 h solid solution treatment, 60% cold deformation, 450 °C × 2 h aging treatment, and 70% cold deformation, the Cu–Cr–Ag alloy acquired excellent comprehensive properties: tensile strength of 494.4 MPa, yield strength of 487.6 MPa, and electrical conductivity of 91.4% IACS.

The preparation and characterization of silver powders with spheric shape and different sizes by chemical reduction of silver ions in the presence of ethanol amine using hydrochinone (C6H6O2) as the reducing agent are described. The size distribution, microstructure, and the phase composition of the obtained Ag Powders were characterized by the Laser Particle Size Analyzer, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and the X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Ag powder was in face-centered cubic crystal structure with spheric morphology. The average tap density of silver powders is up to 4.0g/cm3. It was also found that the size of the Ag particles can be adjusted conveniently to a certain degree by varying the silver ions content, the addition amount of dispersing agent, the aging time, the temperature of the reaction, and the concentration ratio of hydrochinone to Ag+.

Interest has recently increased in the possibility of growing III-V compounds epitactically on non-polar substrates to produce device quality material. Antiphase boundaries (APBs) may then develop in the GaAs epilayer because it has sphalerite structure (face-centered cubic with a two-atom basis). This planar defect may then influence the electrical behavior of the GaAs epilayer. The orientation of APBs and their propagation into GaAs epilayers have been investigated experimentally using both flat-on and cross-section transmission electron microscope techniques. APBs parallel to (110) plane have been viewed at the atomic resolution and compared to simulated images.Antiphase boundaries were observed in GaAs epilayers grown on (001) Ge substrates. In the image shown in Fig.1, which was obtained from a flat-on sample, the (110) APB planes can be seen end-on; the faceted APB is visible because of the stacking fault-like fringes arising from a lattice translation at this interface.

Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under the polyol system combined with traces of sodium chloride, Silver nitrate(AgNO3) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acted as the silver source and dispersant respectively. The samples by this process were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption equation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) to determine the chemical composition, particle size, crystal structure and morphology. The experiment results indicate that the crystal structure of the samples is face centered cubic (FCC) structure as same as the bulk materials, The specific surface area is 24 m2/g, the particle size distribution ranging from10 to 50 nm, with an average particle size about 26 nm obtained by TEM and confirmed by XRD and BET results.

The FeCoNiCrTi0.2 high-entropy alloys fabricated by vacuum arc melting method, and the annealed pristine material, are face centered cubic structures with coherent γ’ precipitation. Samples were irradiated with 50 keV He+ ions to a fluence of 2 × 1016 ions/cm2 at 723 K, and an in situ annealing experiment was carried out to monitor the evolution of helium bubbles during heating to 823 and 923 K. The pristine structure of FeCoNiCrTi0.2 samples and the evolution of helium bubbles during in situ annealing were both characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The annealing temperature and annealing time affect the process of helium bubbles evolution and formation. Meanwhile, the grain boundaries act as sinks to accumulate helium bubbles. However, the precipitation phase seems have few effects on the helium bubble evolution, which may be due to the coherent interface and same structure of γ’ precipitation and matrix.

Ion implantation can be used to alter the optical response of insulators through the formation of embedded nano-sized particles. Single crystal alumina has been implanted at ambient temperature with 50 keV Ca+ to a fluence of 5 x 1016 ions/cm2. Ion channeling, Knoop microhardness measurements, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate that the alumina surface layer was amorphized by the implant. TEM also revealed nano-sized crystals ≈7 - 8 nm in diameter as seen in Figure 1. These nanocrystals are randomly oriented, and exhibit a face-centered cubic structure (FCC) with a lattice parameter of 0.409 nm ± 0.002 nm. The similarity between this crystallography and that of pure aluminum (which is FCC with a lattice parameter of 0.404 nm) suggests that they are metallic aluminum nanocrystals with a slightly dilated lattice parameter, possibly due to the incorporation of a small amount of calcium.Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) provides an avenue by which to confirm the metallic nature of the aluminum involved in the nanocrystals.

A well-consolidated composite of Al alloy 6061 reinforced with 4, 8 and 12 wt% garnet was prepared by a liquid metallurgy technique, the composite was heat treated for different ageing durations (T6 treatment), and its mechanical properties were determined by destructive testing. The results of the study indicated that, as the garnet particle content in the composites increased, there were marked increases in the ultimate tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness but there was a decrease in the ductility. There was an improvement in the tensile strength, compressive strength, and hardness with ageing due to precipitation. Precipitation in Al alloy 6061, with and without garnet particulate reinforcement, was studied using transmission electron microscopy. The fracture behaviour of the composites was altered significantly by the presence of garnet particles and the crack propagation through the matrix, and the reinforcing particle clusters resulted in final fracture.

ABSTRACTWe show that superlattice (SL) of PbS quantum dots (QD) can be easily prepared by drop casting of colloidal QD solution onto glass substrate and the ordering level can be controlled by the substrate temperature. A QD solution was dropped on glass and dried at 25, 40, 70 and 100°C resulting in formation of different SL structures. X-ray diffractograms (XRD) of deposited films show a set of sharp and intense peaks that are higher order satellites of a unique peak at 1.8 degrees (two theta), which corresponds, using the Bragg’s Law, to an interplanar spacing of 5.3 nm. The mean particles diameter, calculated through the broadening of the (111) peak of PbS using the Scherrer’s formula, were in agreement with the interplanar spacing. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements were also used to study the SL structure, which showed mainly a face centered cubic (FCC) arrangement of the QD. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of QD in the SL showed a shift toward lower energy compared to one in solution. It can be attributed to the fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) between neighbors QD´s. Moreover, we observed greater redshift of PL peak for film with lower drying temperature, suggesting that it has a more organized structure.
