Structural Investigations On Nanocrystalline Ni-W Alloy Films By Transmission Electron Microscopy
Structural Investigations On Nanocrystalline Ni-W Alloy Films By Transmission Electron Microscopy
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Electrodeposited Ni-W alloys have been investigated in the as-deposited state by transmission electron microscopy in order to investigate the microstructural features in dependence of the tungsten content. Within the tungsten content range from 7 at.% up to 12 at.%, the microstructure is nanocrystalline characterized by a bimodal grain size distribution, consisting out of 20 to 200 nm sized grains and also larger grains with several 100 nm characteristic dimension. No clear trend in microstructure formation is visible with W content or deposition conditions in the investigated W content range. Only solid solution phase characteristics were observed. The lattice constant is …
On The Nature Of The Electrochemically Synthesized Hard Fe-0.96 Mass Pct C Alloy Film
On The Nature Of The Electrochemically Synthesized Hard Fe-0.96 Mass Pct C Alloy Film
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
A hard Fe-0.96 mass pet C alloy with a hardness value of 810 HV has been electrochemically synthesized from a ferrous sulfate bath containing a small amount of citric acid and L-ascorbic acid. The nature of the alloy has been investigated by a number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and magnetic measurements. The decomposition behavior of the alloy is also studied and compared with that of thermally prepared martensite. It has been found that the electrochemically deposited Fe-C alloy exists in …

Piezoelectric In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Technique For Direct Observations Of Fatigue Damage Accumulation In Constrained Metallic Thin Films, Xiaoli Tan, T. Du, J.K. Shang

A piezoelectricin situtransmission electron microscopy(TEM) technique has been developed to observe the damage mechanism in constrained metallic thin films under cyclic loading. The technique was based on the piezoelectric actuation of a multilayered structure in which a metallic thin film was sandwiched between a piezoelectric actuator and a silicon substrate. An alternating electric field with a static offset was applied on the piezoelectric actuator to drive the crack growth in the thin metallic layer while the sample was imaged in TEM. The technique was demonstrated on solder thin films where cavitation was found to be the dominant fatigue damage mechanism.
In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy Study Of Electric-Field-Induced Microcracking In Single Crystal Pb(Mg1/3nb2/3)O3–Pbtio3, Z. Xu, Xiaoli Tan, P. Han, J.K. Shang

In this letter, we report in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of effect of a cyclic electric field on microcracking in a single crystal piezoelectric 0.66Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.34PbTiO3. A TEM heating stage was modified to permit the in situ application of an electric field on the TEM sample surface. Microcrack initiation from a fine pore under an applied cyclic electric field was directly observed in the piezoelectric single crystal. Experimental procedures for in situ TEM studies were described.
