ABSTRACTTiNi shape memory alloy (SMA) has potential applications for nuclear reactors and its phase stability under irradiation is becoming an important topic. Some irradiation-induced diffusion-dependent phase transformations, such as amorphization, have been reported before. In the present work, the behavior of diffusion-independent phase transformation in TiNi SMA was studied by electron irradiation at room temperature. The effect of irradiation on the martensitic transformation of TiNi shape memory alloys was studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with in-situ observation and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results of TEM and DSC measurements show that the microstructure of samples is R phase at room temperature. Electron irradiations were carried out using several different TEM with accelerating voltage of 200 kV, 300 kV, 400 kV and 1000 kV. Also the accelerating voltage in the same TEM was changed to investigate the critical voltage for the effect of irradiation on phase transformation. It was found that a phase transformation occurred under electron irradiation above 320 kV, but never appeared at 300 kV or lower accelerating voltage. Such phase transformation took place in a few seconds of irradiation and was independent of atom diffusion. The mechanism of Electron-irradiation-induced the martensitic transformation due to displacements of atoms from their lattice sites produced by the accelerated electrons.

Property characterization of nanomaterials is challenged by the small size of the structure because of the difficulties in manipulation. Here we demonstrate a novel approach that allows a direct measurement of the mechanical and electrical properties of individual nanotube-like structures by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The technique is powerful in a way that it can be directly correlated to the atomic-scale microstructure of the carbon nanotube with its physical properties, thus providing a complete characterization of the nanotube. Applications of the technique will be demonstrated in measurements of the mechanical properties, the electron field emission, and the ballistic quantum conductance of individual carbon nanotubes. A nanobalance technique is demonstrated that can be applied to measure the mass of a single tiny particle as light as 22 fg (1 f = 10-15 ).

We present here results of in situ TEM diffraction observations of the response of U3Si and U3Si2 when subjected to 1 MeV electron irradiation or to 1.5 MeV Kr ion irradiation, and observations of damage occuring in natural zirconolite. High energy electron irradiation or energetic heavy ion irradiation were performed in situ at the HVEM-Tandem User Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. In this Facility, a 2 MV Tandem ion accelerator and a 0.6 MV ion implanter have been interfaced to a 1.2 MeV AEI high voltage electron microscope. This allows a wide variety of in situ experiments to be performed with simultaneous ion irradiation and conventional transmission electron microscopy. During the electron irradiation, the electron beam was focused to a diameter of about 2 μ.m at the specimen thin area. The ion beam was approximately 2 mm in diameter and was uniform over the entire specimen. With the specimen mounted in a heating holder, the temperature increase indicated by the furnace thermocouple during the ion irradiation was typically 8 °K.
