AbstractThe advent of aberration correction for transmission electron microscopy has transformed atomic resolution imaging into a nearly routine technique for structural analysis. Now an emerging frontier in electron microscopy is the development ofin situcapabilities to observe reactions at atomic resolution in real time and within realistic environments. Here we present a newin situgas cell holder that is designed for compatibility with a wide variety of sample type (i.e., dimpled 3-mm discs, standard mesh grids, various types of focused ion beam lamellae attached to half grids). Its capabilities include localized heating and precise control of the gas pressure and composition while simultaneously allowing atomic resolution imaging at ambient pressure. The results show that 0.25-nm lattice fringes are directly visible for nanoparticles imaged at ambient pressure with gas path lengths up to 20 μm. Additionally, we quantitatively demonstrate that while the attainable contrast and resolution decrease with increasing pressure and gas path length, resolutions better than 0.2 nm should be accessible at ambient pressure with gas path lengths less than the 15 μm utilized for these experiments.

A solid-liquid interface in the Al–Si system has been observed at near-atomic resolution by in-situ heating experiments inside transmission electron microscopes. Chemical mapping was also attempt to detect distribution of constituent atoms near a solid–hquid interface.Mixtures of Al particles and Si particles, the diameter of which ranged from 200nm to 800nm, were mounted on a specimen–heating holder developed by Kamino and Saka and examined in a Hitachi H–9000NAR and a Hitachi HF–2000 electron microscope, operated at accelerating voltages of 300 and 200kV, respectively. Heating these specimens above the melting point of pure Al inside the microscopes resulted in the melting of the Al particles. The liquid Al reacted with nearby Si, leading to the formation of Al–Si alloy phase. An interface between solid Si and Al–Si alloy hquid and also an interface between solid Al and Al–Si alloy liquid were observed. The dynamical behaviour was recorded continuously using TV–VTR systems. The distribution of Al and Si was visualized using a Gatan imaging filter GIF analyzer.

The Al6Li3Cu (T2) phase, which exhibits five-fold or icosahedral symmetry, forms through solid state precipitation in dilute Al-Li-Cu alloys. Recent studies have reported that the T2 phase transforms either during TEM examination of thin foils or following ion-milling of thin foil specimens. Related studies have shown that T2 phase transforms to a microcrystalline array of the TB phase and a dilute aluminum solid solution during in-situ heating in the TEM. The purpose of this paper is to report results from an investigation of the influence of ion-milling on the stability of the T2 phase in dilute Al-Li-Cu alloy.The 3-mm diameter TEM disc specimens were prepared from a specially melted Al-2.5%Li-2.5%Cu alloy produced by conventional procedures. The TEM specimens were solution heat treated 1 h at 550°C and aged 1000 h at 190°C in air to develop the microstructure. The disc specimens were electropolished to achieve electron transparency using a 20:80 (vol. percent) nitric acid: methanol solution at -60°C.
