Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study we studied an imaging technique to reveal medium-range order in metallic glasses, which is presumably related to structural heterogeneity, by means of transmission electron microscopy. We prepared a fine electron probe smaller than 0.4 nm using a small condenser aperture and then acquired dataset of electron diffraction patterns from each local area of metallic glasses by scanning the electron probe. The information about size, shape, and structure feature of the medium-range order was successfully obtained from the dataset.
