AbstractThe atomic structure of a pristine (undoped) boundary in strontium titanate has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy techniques. Results of electron diffraction studies indicate a pure tilt boundary with a common \001] tilt axis, and a tilt angle of 36.8°, which corresponds to a Σ-= 5 grain boundary in the Coincidence Site Lattice (CSL) notation. High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) indicates a symmetric tilt grain boundary with a (130) type grain boundary plane. No cation non-stoichiometry or impurity segregants could be detected at the interface, within the limits of the Energy Dispersive X-ray microanalysis technique used. The grain boundary has a compact core, with negligible planenormal rigid body translation (RBT). An in-plane RBT of (1/2)d130 (˜ 0.62 A°) was identified from the high resolution electron micrographs. An empirical model of the relaxed atomic structure of the grain boundary is proposed.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) has been used to investigate the structural properties of GeMn/Ge nanocolumns multilayer samples grown on Ge(001) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Four bilayers with the spacer thickness in the range between 6 nm and 15 nm and 10 periods of bilayers of Ge[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]/Ge nanocolumn are presented. A simplified 2D model based on the theory of elastic constant interactions has been used to provide reasonable explanations to the vertical self-organization of GeMn nanocolumns in multilayers.
