Non-centro-symmetric characteristics are observed in the experimental electron diffraction patterns (EDPs) from the icosahedral quasicrystalline precipitates in ZrAlNiCuNb alloys. Different from the well-known breaking of the Friedel's law, where a strong dynamical effect will reveal in EDPs the concealed non-centro-symmetry originated from the crystal structures themselves, the current results can...
The elastic state of embedded inclusions is of considerable importance to the properties of materials. The non-uniform lattice distortion in the inclusions in which the interfaces are shaped with variable curvature cannot be measured by usual experimental methods. In this paper, the lattice distortions in an ellipsoid-like nano-crystallite of copper were measured by means of the peak finding method...
Phase transitions and the related phase identifications at different temperatures for spinel Li1.07Mn1.93O4−δ crystals have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The preliminary results clearly show the existence of at least two types of low-temperature phase: monoclinic and orthorhombic. Oxygen deficiency may raise the phase-transition temperature for the high-temperature (HT) cubic to...
The ethanol flame was successfully used to synthesize highly graphitic hollow-cored carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and novel disorder solid-cored carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Their morphologies were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the mixture of CNTs and CNFs were...
Charge density distribution in icosahedral AlPdMn quasicrystal has been studied on a single-crystal specimen by using quantitative convergent beam electron diffraction (QCBED) technique. The QCBED systematic row method was used in the refinement of structure factors. To refine the low-order structure factors, the wave-mechanical formulation of electron diffraction dynamical theory was used in the...
Orientation relationships between the parent phase and 2H type martensite, and between different variants in a plate group of martensite in the CuAlNi shape memory alloy were determined by electron backscatter diffraction. The result reveals clearly that the basal planes of different correspondence variants of the 2H martensite originate from different {110} P planes of the parent phase, and...
