Identification of Grain Boundary Contours at Atomic Scale
Nowadays image acquisition in materials science allows the resolution of grains at atomic scale. Grains are material regions with different lattice orientation which are typically not in equilibrium. At the same time, new microscopic simulation tools allow to study the dynamics of such grain structures. Single atoms are resolved in the experimental and in the simulation results. A qualitative s...
متن کاملAtomic-scale quantification of grain boundary segregation in nanocrystalline material.
Grain boundary segregation leads to nanoscale chemical variations that can alter a material's performance by orders of magnitude (e.g., embrittlement). To understand this phenomenon, a large number of grain boundaries must be characterized in terms of both their five crystallographic interface parameters and their atomic-scale chemical composition. We demonstrate how this can be achieved using ...
متن کاملDirect observation of atomic scale graphitic layer growth.
The demand for better understanding of the mechanism of soot formation is driven by the negative environmental and health impact brought about by the burning of fossil fuels. While soot particles accumulate most of their mass from surface reactions, the mechanism for surface growth has so far been characterized primarily by measurements of the kinetics. Here we provide atomic-scale scanning tun...
متن کاملDirect oxygen imaging within a ceramic interface, with some observations upon the dark contrast at the grain boundary.
Annular bright field scanning transmission electron microscopy, which has recently been established to produce directly interpretable images with both light and heavier atomic columns visible simultaneously, is shown to allow directly interpretable imaging of the oxygen columns within the Σ13[12¯10](101¯4) pyramidal twin grain boundary in α-Al(2)O(3). By using information in the high-angle annu...
متن کاملGrain boundary structures of atomic layer deposited
Grain boundary plays an important role in determining the physical properties and chemical stability of the materials. In particular, the structures of grain boundaries in atomic layer deposited TiN film may be one of the main factors to dominate the reliability and performance of ULSI devices with multilayer structure of Cu-based interconnects. In this work, the characteristics of grain bounda...
