AbstractThe deformation structure of polycrystalline TiAl-based alloys after uniaxial compression at temperature range from 77K to 1073K has been examined using transmission electron microscopy. It was observed that a large number of faulted dipoles are commonly present in deformation structure of the alloys compressed at low temperature 77K and room temperature. The nature of the faulted dipoles has been determined to be intrinsic stacking fault lying on {111} plane, bounded by 1/6<112] partial dislocations. A possible mechanism for the formation of the faulted dipoles was suggested. The results of the statistic observation shows that faulted dipoles in deformed Ti-48A1 and Ti-(47–48) Al-X (X = V,Cr,Mn) alloys are less than those in single phase Ti-52A1 alloy, and the number of the faulted dipoles decreases with increasing deformation temperature. The effect of the faulted dipoles on plastic deformation of the alloy was discussed.

Coordinatively unsaturated (CUS) iron sites are highly active in catalytic oxidation reactions; however, maintaining the CUS structure of iron during heterogeneous catalytic reactions is a great challenge. Here, we report a strategy to stabilize single-atom CUS iron sites by embedding highly dispersed FeN4 centers in the graphene matrix. The atomic structure of FeN4 centers in graphene was revealed for the first time by combining high-resolution transmission electron microscopy/high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. These confined single-atom iron sites exhibit high performance in the direct catalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol at room temperature, with a conversion of 23.4% and a yield of 18.7%, and can even proceed efficiently at 0°C with a phenol yield of 8.3% after 24 hours. Both experimental measurements and density functional theory calculations indicate that the formation of the Fe═O intermediate structure is a key step to promoting the conversion of benzene to phenol. These findings could pave the way toward highly efficient nonprecious catalysts for low-temperature oxidation reactions in heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis.

The high-temperature indentation fracture and microstructures of dysprosium niobate (DyNbO4) were investigated by optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy (OM, SEM, and TEM). Polycrystalline samples were sintered at 1350 °C for 3 h and cut into 3 mm disks for TEM. The disks were indented in a Nikon QM (Tokyo, Japan) hot hardness indenter at room temperature up to 1000 °C. Many lamellar twins having different widths were observed by TEM as well as intergranular microcracks. The room temperature hardness was relatively low at 5.64 GPa and decreased with elevated temperatures. Crack lengths were short, showing a typical micro-cracking effect. In the sample indented at 1000 °C, dislocations in periodic arrays were evident, and their density increased markedly due to heavy plastic deformation.

Ultrafine powder of CaCu2.80Zn0.20Ti4O12 ceramic was prepared using a novel semi-wet method. DTA/TG analysis of dry powder gives pre-information about formation of final product around 800°C. The formation of single phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The average particle size of sintered powder of the ceramic obtained from XRD and Transmission electron microscopy was found 59 nm and 102 nm, respectively. Energy Dispersive X-ray studies confirm the stoichiometry of the synthesized ceramic. Dielectric constant of the ceramic was found to be 2617 at room temperature at 1 kHz.

AbstractDislocation configurations induced by room temperature microindentations on the (001) face of GaSb (undoped and Te-doped) have been studied using high voltage transmission electron microscopy. Perfect and partial dislocations could be found in all four arms of the dislocation rosette around the indent. Microtwins and rarely single stacking faults are associated with the partials. Contrary to other binary III–V compounds, an “inverse” glide prism along the [1[unk]0]/[[unk]10] rosette arms is created and it is bounded by {111}

ABSTRACTThe deformation structure of the alpha-2 and orthorhombic phase in two alloys of the Ti-Al-Nb system has been characterised by transmission electron microscopy after plastic deformation of about 2% in compression at room temperauture. The orthorhombic phase is shown to deform by all slip modes present in the alpha-2 phase. In addition, extensive “c” component slip is observed in the orthorhombic phase on slip planes that are not equivalent to those observed for “c”component slip in alpha-2. Dislocation dissociation on both basal and prismatic planes of dislocations without a c component is observed in both phases.

The size, shape and surface morphology of human erythrocytes (RBC) were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), of the fixed material directly and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of surface replicas to compare the relative merits of these two observational procedures for this type specimen.A sample of human blood was fixed in glutaraldehyde and washed in distilled water by centrifugation. The washed RBC's were spread on freshly cleaved mica and on aluminum coated microscope slides and then air dried at room temperature. The SEM specimens were rotary coated with 150Å of 60:40- gold:palladium alloy in a vacuum evaporator using a new combination spinning and tilting device. The TEM specimens were preshadowed with platinum and then rotary coated with carbon in the same device. After stripping the RBC-Pt-C composite film, the RBC's were dissolved in 2.5N HNO3 followed by 0.2N NaOH leaving the preshadowed surface replicas showing positive topography.

The evolution of dislocation channels in irradiated metals during deformation can be envisaged to occur in three stages: (i) formation of embryonic cluster free regions, (ii) growth of these regions into microscopically observable channels and (iii) termination of their growth due to the accumulation of dislocation damage. The first two stages are particularly intriguing, and we have attempted to follow the early stages of channel formation in polycrystalline molybdenum, irradiated to 5×1019 n. cm−2 (E > 1 Mev) at the reactor ambient temperature (∼ 60°C), using transmission electron microscopy. The irradiated samples were strained, at room temperature, up to the macroscopic yield point.Figure 1 illustrates the early stages of channel formation. The observations suggest that the cluster free regions, such as A, B and C, form in isolated packets, which could subsequently link-up to evolve a channel.
