In this work, the investigation of transmission electron microscopy has elucidated the morphologies of the interphase precipitated carbides in an experimental Ti-Mo-bearing steel into three types: (1) planar interphase precipitation with regular sheet spacing (designated as PIP), (2) curved interphase precipitation with regular sheet spacing (designated as Regular CIP), and (3) curved interphase precipitation with irregular sheet spacing (designated as Irregular CIP). The planar sheets of carbides have also been analyzed and found to be oriented close to ferrite planes {211}, {210} and {111}; the results of transmission electron microscopy provide strong evidence to suggest that the development of interphase-precipitated carbides can be associated with the growth of incoherent ferrite/austenite interface by the ledge mechanism. The sheet spacing and inter-carbide spacing in the sheet have been measured and estimated in this work. The sheet spacing is found to be finer than the inter-carbide spacing in the sheet for all samples investigated. The result reflects that the distribution of interphase-precipitated carbides is anisotropic and cannot be considered random distribution. The relevance of the Orowan mechanism to the non-random distribution of interphase-precipitated carbides has been considered. The contribution of the dispersion of interphase-precipitated carbides to the yield strength of the steel studied has been estimated. It is revealed that an optimum component about 400 MPa contributed by interphase-precipitated carbides can be achieved, and the finding is consistent with the hardness data. Other examples of the different alloy steels are also addressed.

In this work, we have studied the crystal defectiveness and doping activation subsequent to ion implantation and post-annealing by using various techniques including photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The aim of this work was to test the effectiveness of double step annealing to reduce the density of point defects generated during the annealing of a P implanted 4H-SiC epitaxial layer. The outcome of this work evidences that neither the first 1 hour isochronal annealing at 1650 - 1700 - 1750 °C, nor the second one at 1500 °C for times between 4 hour and 14 hour were able to recover a satisfactory crystallinity of the sample and achieve dopant activations exceeding 1%.

Triangle-shaped defects are one of the most common surface defects on epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC epilayer on nearly on-axis SiC substrate. In this paper, we investigate the feature and structure of such defects using Nomarski optical microscopy (NOM), micro-Raman spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). It is found that triangle-shaped defects were composed of a thick 3C-SiC polytype, as well as 4H-SiC epilayer.
