High-voltage electron microscope high-temperature in situ straining experiments to study dislocation dynamics in intermetallics and quasicrystals.
The dynamic behaviour of dislocations in several intermetallic alloys, studied by in situ straining experiments in a high-voltage electron microscope, is compared at room temperature and at high temperatures. In contrast to room temperature, the dislocations move viscously at high temperatures, which is explained by diffusion processes in the dislocation cores. In quasicrystals, the viscous dis...
متن کاملIn situ TEM study of dislocation slip in a metastable titanium alloy
Dislocation slip is investigated in a metastable titanium alloy with the Ti-23Nb-0.7Ta-2Zr0.4Si composition (at. %) by in situ straining experiments in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Moving dislocations have a/2<111> Burgers vectors and glide in {110}, {112} or {123} planes. The mobility of screw dislocations is lowered by punctual defects and the existence of a stable and sessile ...
متن کاملRecombination-Enhanced Dislocation Motion in SiGe and Ge
In-situ straining experiments on dislocation motion in Ge and Si±5 at% Ge alloy single crystals are performed in a high voltage transmission electron microscope. In comparison with previous results by other methods, the dislocation velocities are found to be enhanced due to a recombination enhancement owing to the excess carrier injection by the electron beam. The reduction in the activation en...
متن کاملIn situ atomic-scale observation of continuous and reversible lattice deformation beyond the elastic limit
The elastic strain sustainable in crystal lattices is usually limited by the onset of inelastic yielding mediated by discrete dislocation activity, displacive deformation twinning and stress-induced phase transformations, or fracture associated with flaws. Here we report a continuous and gradual lattice deformation in bending nickel nanowires to a reversible shear strain as high as 34.6%, which...
متن کاملField emission and strain engineering of electronic properties in boron nitride nanotubes.
The electrical properties of boron nitride (BN) nanostructures, particularly BN nanotubes (NTs), have been studied less in comparison to the counterpart carbon nanotubes. The present work investigates the field emission (FE) behavior of BNNTs under multiple cycles of FE experiments and demonstrates a strain-engineering pathway to tune the electronic properties of BNNTs. The electrical probing o...
