Electron microscopy reveals how the sliding deformation of grain boundaries is accomplished atom by atom in a poly-grained metal of platinum. The graphic shows the atomic structure of a grain boundary ...

The efforts of microscopists have given aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy the power to reveal atomic structures with unprecedented precision. It is now up to materials ...

Most fruitful is the exploitation of the absorption process of a soft X-ray photon near an absorption edge, that is, near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy, as the ...

allowing for the observation of structures down to the atomic scale. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are two closely related imaging ...

And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look ... as are the different zones of cutting action. The grain of the metal is also clearly visible, and the “gumminess ...

Transmission electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique used to study the structure and properties of materials at the atomic scale. The technique is widely employed in fields such as ...

Traditionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been an effective tool to examine nanoscale structures. SEM works by scanning a sample with a focused electron beam and capturing the SEs ...

Furthermore, similar observations were made at several grain boundaries with ... By combining this with atomic structure ...
