Stacking Fault Tetrahedra

ABSTRACTThe evolution of the defect structure in 3 MeV-proton irradiated Cu and Ni has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy and by differential dilatometry. The proton irradiations were performed at T≦100°C up to irradiation doses of 2 dpa. An efficient loss of selfinterstitial atoms at dislocations and a consequently high average concentration of vacancies in clusters is observed starting from rather low fluences. In addition an ordering of the defects in the form of periodic {001} walls with a typical periodicity length of ≈ 60 nm is observed for all equivalent {001} planes. The walls consist of high local concentrations of dislocations, dislocation loops and stacking-fault tetrahedra. The observed formation of periodic arraysof defect walls is considered as an example for a possibly general microstructural phenomenon in metals under irradiation.

In a previous investigation (1) of the mechanisms of strengthening in a Co-28 wt% Cr-6 wt% Mo-0.29 wt% C alloy (H.S. 21), it was observed that the fee regions of this alloy were generally heavily faulted, and the density of stacking faults was seen to be dependent upon the time and temperature of the aging treatment after solutionizing. In the present study, weak-beam darkfield transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the interaction of stacking faults on intersecting {111} planes. The alloy was solutionized at 1230°C for 4 hours, quenched in water, and aged at 650°C for 8 hours in order to produce a suitable density of faults. Figure 1 shows a bright-field (BF), weak-beam dark-field (WB DF) pair of micrographs illustrating both the successful and unsuccessful intersection of faults which exist in different ﹛111﹜ planes.

Means Of Transmission

ABSTRACTMicrodefects in Cr-doped SI LEC (001) GaAs wafers which were implanted with Zn+ or As /Zn and capless-annealed in an As ambient have been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy. Most of the microdefects in Zn +- implanted GaAs specimens were identified as precipitates and stacking fault tetrahedra (SFTs). Every SFT was accompanied by a precipitate at the apex. Most of the precipitates were distributed from Rp to Rp + 2∆Rp. Two types (α and β) of SFTs were differentiated by the arrangement of atoms in the core of the stair-rod partial dislocations bounding the periphery of the SFTs in a polar Frystal. β-SFTs were, however, predominantly formed in Zn+ implanted GaAs specimens. Dual implantation of As+ and Zn+ suppressed the formation of SFTs, but not that of precipitates. The formation of SFTs was found to be influenced by the deviation in stoichiometry.

The characteristics of defects exhibiting fringe contrast in GaAs annealed after implantation with Be have been examined using weak-beam dark-field transmission electron microscopy. Semi-insulating, chromium-doped, [001] GaAs wafers were implanted with 35 keV Be ions to a fluence of 1 x 1015 ions/cm2.

Deposit Layer

A problem was presented to observe the packing densities of deposits of sub-micron corrosion product particles. The deposits were 5-100 mils thick and had formed on the inside surfaces of 3/8 inch diameter Zircaloy-2 heat exchanger tubes. The particles were iron oxides deposited from flowing water and consequently were only weakly bonded. Particular care was required during handling to preserve the original formations of the deposits. The specimen preparation method described below allowed direct observation of cross sections of the deposit layers by transmission electron microscopy.The specimens were short sections of the tubes (about 3 inches long) that were carefully cut from the systems. The insides of the tube sections were first coated with a thin layer of a fluid epoxy resin by dipping. This coating served to impregnate the deposit layer as well as to protect the layer if subsequent handling were required.

AbstractSince the 1970s, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is well established as the most appropriate method to explore the structural complexity of niobium tungsten oxides. Today, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) represents an important alternative for performing the structural characterization of such oxides. STEM images recorded with a high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) detector provide not only information about the cation positions but also about the distribution of niobium and tungsten as the intensity is directly correlated to the local scattering potential. The applicability of this method is demonstrated here for the characterization of the real structure of Nb7W10O47.5. This sample contains well-ordered domains of Nb8W9O47 and Nb4W7O31 besides little ordered areas according to HRTEM results. Structural models for Nb4W7O31 and twinning occurring in this phase have been derived from the interpretation of HAADF-STEM images. A remarkable grain boundary between well-ordered domains of Nb4W7O31 and Nb8W9O47 has been found that contains one-dimensionally periodic features. Furthermore, short-range order observed in less ordered areas could be attributed to an intimate intergrowth of small sections of different tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) based structures.
