ABSTRACTIn situ hot-stage high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) provides unique capabilities for quantifying the dynamics of interfaces at the atomic level. Such information is critical for understanding the theory of interfaces and solid-state phase transformations. This paper provides a brief description of particular requirements for performing in situ hot-stage HRTEM, summarizes different types of in situ HRTEM investigations and illustrates the use of this technique to obtain quantitative data on the atomic mechanisms and kinetics of interface motion in precipitation, crystallization and martensitic reactions. Some limitations of in situ hot-stage HRTEM and future prospects of this technique are also discussed.

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.
