Outline of Final Research Achievements

To investigate grain boundary fracture phenomena at the atomic level, we developed experimental techniques using atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and in situ TEM mechanical test, and we collected some preliminary experimental data. An alumina ∑13 grain boundary doped with Zr atoms was fractured by in situ TEM nanoindentation. It was observed that a crack propagated along the grain boundary. Further, the fracture surfaces were observed by atomic resolution scanning TEM. Zr atoms were seen to remain over a few layers on the fracture surfaces. This indicates that the crack propagates within the Zr layers segregated at the grain boundary. In addition, the experimental techniques used in this study are shown to be effective to investigate grain boundary fracture phenomena.
