Title Analysis of internal stress build-up during deposition of nanocrystalline Ni thin films using transmission electron microscopy Type A1 Journal article
Year 2020 Publication Thin solid films : an international journal on the science and technology of thin and thick films Abbreviated Journal Thin Solid Films
Volume 707 Issue Pages 138076
Keywords A1 Journal article; Electron microscopy for materials research (EMAT)
Abstract Ni thin films sputter-deposited at room temperature with varying Ar pressures were investigated with automated crystal orientation mapping in a transmission electron microscope to uncover the mechanisms controlling the internal stress build-up recorded in-situ during deposition. Large grains were found to induce behaviour similar to a stress-free nucleation layer. The measurements of grain size in most of the Ni thin films are in agreement with the island coalescence model. Low internal stress was observed at low Ar pressure and was explained by the presence of large grains. Relaxation of high internal stress was also noticed at the highest Ar pressure, which was attributed to a decrease of Σ3 twin boundary density due to a low deposition rate. The results provide insightful information to better understand the relationship between structural boundaries and the evolution of internal stress upon deposition of thin films.

Title Novel class of nanostructured metallic glass films with superior and tunable mechanical properties Type A1 Journal article
Year 2021 Publication Acta Materialia Abbreviated Journal Acta Mater
Volume Issue Pages 116955
Keywords A1 Journal article; Engineering sciences. Technology; Electron microscopy for materials research (EMAT)
Abstract A novel class of nanostructured Zr50Cu50 (%at.) metallic glass films with superior and tunable mechanical

properties is produced by pulsed laser deposition. The process can be controlled to synthetize a wide

range of film microstructures including dense fully amorphous, amorphous embedded with nanocrystals

and amorphous nano-granular. A unique dense self-assembled nano-laminated atomic arrangement

characterized by alternating Cu-rich and Zr/O-rich nanolayers with different local chemical enrichment

and amorphous or amorphous-crystalline composite nanostructure has been discovered, while

significant in-plane clustering is reported for films synthetized at high deposition pressures. This unique

nanoarchitecture is at the basis of superior mechanical properties including large hardness and elastic

modulus up to 10 and 140 GPa, respectively and outstanding total elongation to failure (>9%), leading to

excellent strength/ductility balance, which can be tuned by playing with the film architecture. These

results pave the way to the synthesis of novel class of engineered nanostructured metallic glass films

with high structural performances attractive for a number of applications in microelectronics and

coating industry.

Title “Branched” structural transformation of the L12-Al3Zr phase manipulated by Cu substitution/segregation in the Al-Cu-Zr alloy system Type A1 Journal article
Year 2024 Publication Journal of materials science & technology Abbreviated Journal Journal of Materials Science & Technology
Volume 185 Issue Pages 186-206
Keywords A1 Journal article; Engineering sciences. Technology; Electron microscopy for materials research (EMAT)
Abstract The effect of Cu on the evolution of the Al3Zr phase in an Al-Cu-Zr cast alloy during solution treatment at 500 °C has been thoroughly studied by combining atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and first-principles cal- culations. The heat treatment initially produces a pure L12-Al3Zr microstructure, allowing for about 13 % Cu to be incorporated in the dispersoid. Cu incorporation increases the energy barrier for anti-phase boundary (APB) activation, thus stabilizing the L12 structure. Additional heating leads to a Cu-induced “branched”path for the L12 structural transformation, with the latter process accelerated once the first APB has been created. Cu atoms may either (i) be repelled by the APBs, promoting the transformation to a Cu-poor D023 phase, or (ii) they may segregate at one Al-Zr layer adjacent to the APB, promoting a transformation to a new thermodynamically favored phase, Al4CuZr, formed when these segregation layers are periodically arranged. Theoretical studies suggest that the branching of the L12 transformation path is linked to the speed at which an APB is created, with Cu attraction triggered by a comparatively slow process. This unexpected transformation behavior of the L12-Al3Zr phase opens a new path to understanding, and potentially regulating the Al3Zr dispersoid evolution for high temperature applications.

Title On the phase-like nature of the 7M structure in Ni-Al Type A3 Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Ecomaterials Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 849-852
Keywords A3 Journal Article; Electron Microscopy for Materials Science (EMAT) ;
Abstract The existence of the (52) stacking of the 7M martensite structure in Ni-Al is discussed in view of different experimental observations relating this structure to the premartensitic anomalies. It is concluded that the extreme fineness of the twinning is inherited from the wavelength of the premartensitic anomalies, while, given this dimension, the actual stacking tries to comply with stress free habit plane conditions by choosing the specific (52) stacking.
