Transmission electron microscopy of nanomaterials

چکیده
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) has emerged as a very powerful tool for probing the structure of metals and alloys because of its capability to provide morphological information, crystallographic details, and chemical composition of phases distributed on a very fine scale in a given microstructure. Convergent beam electron diffraction, nano or micro beam diffraction and selected area diffraction techniques have been used to obtain crystallographic information whereas structural information is obtained by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). With its multifaceted capabilities such as nanobeam diffraction, composition analysis and imaging abilities at angstrom level, TEM has emerged as an instrument for complete characterization of nano scale microstructure of materials. The use of TEM in the study of various types of nanomaterials is described in this paper.

115 Abstract This article introduces the use of in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques for the study and development of nanomaterials and their properties. Specifically, it shows how in situ HRTEM (and TEM) can be used to understand diverse phenomena at the nanoscale, such as the behavior of alloy phase formation in isolated nanometer-sized particles, the me...
متن کاملImportance of Transmission Electron Microscopy for Carbon Nanomaterials Research
Importance of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the carbon nanomaterials research is discussed. Carbon, is perhaps, the only element which has an infinite number of allotropes. Some of them can appear very similar. For example, carbon nanofibers and multiwalled carbon nanotubes looks similar when observed with scanning electron microscopy. It is almost impossible to distinguish between ...

Silica coated magnetite nanoparticles were covalent grafted with 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane to give APTSCMNPs. Reaction of the resulted nanomaterial with 4-formyl benzo-12-crown-4 ether afforded FB12C4/APTSMNPs nanocomposite material in which the crown ether moiety was attached through propyl chain spacer. Characterization of the prepared nanocomposite was performed wit...
متن کاملDimethylamine Controlled Sol-Gel Process to Grow ZnO Nanorods
ZnO nanorods were prepared using dimethylamine (DMA) controlled Sol-Gel process. Dimethylamine was added as an additive to control the sol-gel process for growing ZnO nanorods. DMA would exhibit stabilizing effect, promote dissolution of precursor and control the rate of sol-gel reactions because of its basic nature and significant miscibility. The Structural and microstructural properties of t...

In this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (FMWCNT) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized MWCNT. The synthesized nano compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. These spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. The mor...
