The Relationship

Dislocation structure of {1120}/<1100> 2º tilt grain boundary in alumina was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The grain boundary consisted of periodical array of basal dislocations, which were dissociated into pairs of 1/3<1010> and 1/3<0110> partials with {1120} stacking-fault in between. The relationship between the separation distance of partials and the stacking-fault was modeled by considering the force balances of periodical dislocations. The estimated stacking-fault energy for 2o tilt grain boundary was consistent with the previous reports.

Atomistic Calculations

ABSTRACTHigh-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations are presented of a/3[111] grain-boundary dislocations in an aluminum Σ=3[011] bicrystal. These dislocations are present on both (111) (coherent twin) and (211) (incoherent twin) facets of the bicrystal boundary. The dislocations on the coherent twin facet migrate by a climb process that increases the thickness of the twinned material. These dislocations originate on a Σ=3 (211) incoherent twin boundary where they are closely spaced and dissociated in a wide core configuration. Atomistic calculations of the defect structure and interaction of multiple a/3[111] grain boundary dislocations are discussed.

Three Degrees Of Freedom

Read has shown that an arbitrary grain boundary has five degrees of freedom associated with it. Three degrees of freedom are necessary to describe the orientation of one grain with respect to the other, while the remaining two degrees of freedom position the boundary plane between the adjacent grains.Figure 1(a) depicts a general twin boundary-grain boundary intersection. The degrees of freedom for the grain boundary are represented by (HKL)1, (HKL)2, Θ, θGB, ø. Two degrees of freedom are contained in the surface orientations of the grains.

The nature of a geologic fluid can often be inferred from fluid-filled cavities (generally <100 μm in size) that are trapped during the growth of a mineral. A variety of techniques enables the fluids and daughter crystals (any solid precipitated from the trapped fluid) to be identified from cavities greater than a few micrometers. Many minerals, however, contain fluid inclusions smaller than a micrometer. Though inclusions this small are difficult or impossible to study by conventional techniques, they are ideally suited for study by analytical/ transmission electron microscopy (A/TEM) and electron diffraction. We have used this technique to study fluid inclusions and daughter crystals in diamond and feldspar.Inclusion-rich samples of diamond and feldspar were ion-thinned to electron transparency and examined with a Philips 420T electron microscope (120 keV) equipped with an EDAX beryllium-windowed energy dispersive spectrometer. Thin edges of the sample were perforated in areas that appeared in light microscopy to be populated densely with inclusions. In a few cases, the perforations were bound polygonal sides to which crystals (structurally and compositionally different from the host mineral) were attached (Figure 1).

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.
