Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the dilute solid solution alloys A-X (X: Au, Re and W), the direct observation of jumping process of the solute atoms was carried out by STEM-HAADF observation in different several scanning beam conditions. It was confirmed that the frequencies of atomic jump for these alloy systems are higher in the order of Au>Re>W and depend on the scanning rate and the beam intensity. This means that the atomic jump is excited by incident electron beam, not due to the regular diffusion. By precise analysis for the jumping behavior in the Re-doped alloy, it was clarified that the jump is isotropic in direction of every nearest neighbor site. The evaluation of solubility limit of solute element Au was performed by counting all the atomic positions in a fixed flame of the HAADF-STEM image. The obtained result was consistent with that estimated by electric resistant measurement.
