ABSTRACTWe have studied the surface morphology of free standing single crystals of thermochromic polydiacetylenes (PDAs), namely, ETCD and IPUDO (respectively, the ethyl and isopropyl urethanes of 5,7-dodecadiyn-1,12-diol), by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) under ambient conditions. Micron scale as well as molecularly resolved images were obtained. The micron scale images indicate a variable surface, and the molecularly resolved images show a well defined 2-D lattice that is interpreted in terms of molecular models and known crystallographic data. Thereby information about surface morphology, which is crucial to potential optical device or chromic sensor performance is available. We also report the observation of a “macroscopic shattering” of the IPUDO monomer crystal during in-situ UV polymerization studies.

AbstractRetention of the enhanced properties reported for nanograined metallic systems requires that the nanostructure be insensitive to temperature and deformation. In situ transmission electron microscopy annealing experiments were employed to investigate the structural changes associated with the formation of micron-sized grains in nanograined evaporated gold thin films. This abnormal grain growth occurs randomly throughout the film. Twinning but not dislocation slip occurs in the growing grains until the grain size is in the hundreds of nanometer range. The twins appear to hinder growth and for grain growth to continue the twins must either be annihilated or be able to grow with the grain concurrently.

Initial Results

AbstractGrowing interest in nanomaterials has raised many questions regarding the operating mechanisms active during the deformation and failure of nanoscale materials. To address this, a simple, effective in situ TEM straining technique was developed that provides direct detailed observations of the active deformation mechanisms at a length scale relevant to most nanomaterials. The capabilities of this new straining structure are highlighted with initial results in pulsed laser deposited (PLD) Al-Al2O3 thin films of uniform thickness. The Al-Al2O3 system was chosen for investigation, as the grain size can be tailored via deposition and annealing conditions and the active mechanisms in the binary system can be compared to previous studies in PLD Ni and evaporated Al films. PLD Al-Al2O3 free-standing films of various oxide concentrations and different thermal histories were produced and characterized in terms of average grain and particle sizes. Preliminary in situ TEM straining experiments show intergranular failure for films with 5 vol% Al2O3. Further work is in progress to explore and understand the active deformation and failure mechanisms, as well as the dependence of mechanisms on processing routes.
