Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively characterize the atomic and electronic structures in ceramic interface by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. In this year, we finally designed the in-situ TEM holder to characterize the interfacial function, and applied this technique to several model systems. We developed this project on the following points with the collaboration between University of Tokyo, Japan Fine Ceramic Center and Topcon EM service Co..
(1)Development of in-situ TEM system
We developed newly designed in-situ TEM holder to characterize the interfacial function by combining the parts which were made experimentally at three institutes. In this case, the voltage applied components, the temperature measurement components and. vacuum camber attachments were optimized, and the accuracy for voltage and temperature were quantitatively confirmed. In addition, the developed TEM holder was introduced inside the high-resolution pole-piece in TEMP and the systems to be able to simultaneously characterize EDS and EELS were constructed by optimizing the measurement conditions. As the result, the point-point resolution was attained to O.2Onm at 1300℃, and the energy resolution of EELS was got up to 0.8eV at the high temperature. Furthermore, the CCD system to obtain high quality dynamic images was constructed, and the amount of the drift in this system was confirmed to be within 2nm/min..
(2)Demonstration Experiments
The newly developed in-situ TEM holder to characterize the interfacial function was applied for several material systems. As the result, the dynamic behavior of micro and electronic structures at grain boundaries and dislocations, the behavior of lattice defects at high-temperatures were successfully measured for alumina, zirconia, strontium. titanate, zinc oxide and so on.
