This computer code uses the concept of the parallax to compute the x, y and z coordinates of points found using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), or any transmission imaging technique, using two images, each taken at a different perspective of the region containing the points. Points correspond, but are not limited, to the center of cavities or precipitates, positions of irradiation black dot damage, positions along a dislocation line, or positions along where an interface meets a free surface. The code allows the user to visualize the features containing the points in three dimensions. Features can include dislocations, interfaces, cavities,more »« less

Scanning transmission electron microscopy image simulations of complex dislocation structures generated by discrete dislocation dynamics

Journal Article Tessmer, Joseph ; Singh, Saransh ; Gu, Yejun ; ... - Ultramicroscopy

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Diffraction Contrast Imaging (STEM-DCI) has been gaining popularity for the identification and analysis of dislocations in crystalline materials due to its ability to supress undesirable image features that are often present in conventional TEM images. However, there does not yet exist a robust body of work demonstrating expected contrast in these imaging conditions. A novel approach for the simulation of STEM-DCI images was developed using a modified form of the scattering matrix formalism. This algorithm was used to simulate a variety of dislocation configurations generated using three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics.

Automated Quantitative Analysis of Extended Irradiation Defects - Dislocations, Voids and Precipitates in Neutron Irradiated HT-9 Steel

Journal Article Sainju, Rajat ; Ophus, Colin ; Toloczko, Mychailo B. ; ... - Microscopy and Microanalysis

Structural alloys that make up the core components of nuclear reactors are exposed to radiation that can substantially alter the microstructure and mechanical properties of the material. Irradiation can cause the formation of extended defects including dislocation line and loops, voids and various types of precipitates. To understand the irradiation effects, it is critical to characterize these defects individually and collectively to quantify how they evolve throughout irradiation stages. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a standard tool for providing extensive size, number density and spatial distribution of extended irradiation defects, however, manual measurement of defect size and number density requiresmore »« less

High Resolution Electron Microscopy Of Dislocation Ribbons In A CMSX-4 Superalloy single crystal

Journal Article Vorontsov, V A ; Kovarik, Libor ; Mills, M J ; ... - Acta Materialia

High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR STEM) has been used to study the structure of dislocations in single crystal superalloy samples that have been subjected to conditions that favour the primary creep regime. The study has revealed the detailed structure of extended a 2 h112i dislocations as they shear the 0 precipitates during creep. These dislocations dissociate in a manner that is consistent with the PFMD predictions made and also suggests the importance of the reordering process during their movement. The shearing done by the ah112i dislocationswas also found to distort the/ 0 interface, changing its appearance from linear tomore »« less
