Lattice Spacings from Lattice Fringes
نویسنده
چکیده
The different techniques available for the accurate measurement of lattice fringe spacings are discussed and their relative merit under different circumstances assessed. The relationship between the lattice fringe spacing and the lattice parameter is further examined for both uniform and chemically inhomogeneous material. The techniques described were also applied to an investigation of carbon segregation in residual austenite after the upper bainitic transformation in two steels.

Making sense of nanocrystal lattice fringes
The orientation dependence of thin-crystal lattice fringes can be gracefully quantified using fringe-visibility maps, a direct-space analog of Kikuchi maps Nishikawa and Kikuchi, Nature London 121, 1019 1928 . As in navigation of reciprocal space with the aid of Kikuchi lines, fringe-visibility maps facilitate acquisition of crystallographic information from lattice images. In particular, these...
متن کاملPicometer Scale Differences of Lattice Spacing In TEM Images
There are many applications in modern science in which a very precise knowledge of atom spacings i.e. lattice parameters is crucial. These include multi layer hetero structures in device manufacturing and core-rim nano particles, for example. In general it is interesting to know the change in spacings – or the strain in the proximity of a lattice defect or a coherent interface between two diffe...

The orientation-dependence of thin-crystal lattice fringes can be gracefully quantified using fringevisibility maps, a direct-space analog of Kikuchi maps. As in navigation of reciprocal space with the aid of Kikuchi lines, fringe-visibility maps facilitate acquisition of 3D crystallographic information in lattice images. In particular, these maps can help researchers to determine the 3D lattic...
متن کاملSpacing measurements of lattice fringes in HRTEM images using digital darkfield decomposition
In this thesis I present the progress I made in understanding, improving and applying a digital method for lattice fringe spacing measurements in HRTEM images. The method uses filtering in Fourier space to form complex valued dark field images. These images are bright where the image contains the selected periodicity and dark otherwise. The amplitude and phase information in these dark field im...
متن کاملChiral perturbation theory for lattice QCD at O(a)
Chiral perturbation theory (χPT) is widely used in analyzing lattice QCD data. Since χPT describes continuum QCD one has to take the continuum limit first before fitting the lattice data to the analytic predictions of χPT. Unfortunately, lattice data for various lattice spacings is often not available in order to perform a reliable continuum extrapolation. Nevertheless, it is common practice to...
