Title: Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals Shape and Distribution of Dislocations in Single Crystal Nanocomposites

Abstract

With their potential to offer new properties, single crystals containing nanoparticles provide an attractive class of nanocomposite materials. Yet, to fully profit from these, it is essential that we can characterise their 3D structures, identifying the locations of individual nanoparticles, and the defects present within the host crystals. With calcite crystals containing quantum dots as a model system, we here use 3D stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to locate the positions of the nanoparticles within the host crystal. The nanoparticles are shown to preferentially associate with dislocations in a manner previously recognised for atomic impurities, rendering these defects visible by STORM. Our images also demonstrate that the types of dislocations formed at the crystal/ substrate interface vary according to the nucleation face, and dislocation loops are observed that have entirely different geometries to classic misfit dislocations. This approach offers a rapid, easily accessed, and non-destructive method for visualising the dislocations present within crystals, and gives insight into the mechanisms by which additives become occluded within crystals.

Dislocation network at InN/GaN interface revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy

Journal Article Liu, Y ; Xie, M H ; Wu, H S ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

For heteroepitaxy of InN on GaN(0001) by molecular-beam epitaxy, the lattice misfit strain is relieved by misfit dislocations (MDs) formed at the interface between InN and GaN. Imaging by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of the surfaces of thin InN epifilms reveals line feature parallel to <1120>. Their contrast becomes less apparent for thicker epifilms. From the interline spacing as well as a comparison with transmission electron microscopy studies, it is suggested that they correspond to the MDs beneath the surface. The STM contrast originates from both the surface distortion caused by the local strain at MDs and the electronic statesmore » of the defects.« less

Strain-relief by single dislocation loops in calcite crystals grown on self-assembled monolayers

Journal Article Ihli, Johannes ; Clark, Jesse N. ; Côté, Alexander S. ; ... - Nature Communications

Most of our knowledge of dislocation-mediated stress relaxation during epitaxial crystal growth comes from the study of inorganic heterostructures. In this study, we use Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to investigate a contrasting system, the epitaxial growth of calcite (CaCO₃) crystals on organic self-assembled monolayers, where these are widely used as a model for biomineralization processes. The calcite crystals are imaged to simultaneously visualize the crystal morphology and internal strain fields. Our data reveal that each crystal possesses a single dislocation loop that occupies a common position in every crystal. The loops exhibit entirely different geometries to misfit dislocations generated inmore »« less

Peculiarities of spectral properties of a one-dimensional photonic crystal with an anisotropic defect layer of the nanocomposite with resonant dispersion

Journal Article Vetrov, S Ya ; Timofeev, I V ; Pankin, P S - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

We have studied the spectral properties of a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a structure defect that represents an anisotropic nanocomposite layer sandwiched between two multilayer dielectric mirrors. The nanocomposite consists of metallic nanoscale inclusions of orientationally ordered spheroidal shape, dispersed in a transparent matrix, and is characterised by an effective resonant permittivity. Each of the two orthogonal polarisations of probe radiation corresponds to a particular plasmon resonant frequency of the nanocomposite. The problem of calculating the transmittance spectrum of the waves with s- and p-polarisations for such structures is solved. Spectral manifestation of splitting of the defect mode depending onmore »« less

Confinement Effects on Host Chain Dynamics in Polymer Nanocomposite Thin Films

Journal Article Johnson, Kyle J. ; Glynos, Emmanouil ; Maroulas, Serafeim-Dionysios ; ... - Macromolecules

Incorporating nanoparticles (NPs) within a polymer host to create polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) while having the effect of increasing the functionality (e.g.: sensing, energy conversion) of these materials, introduces additional complications with regard to the processing-morphology-function behavior. A primary challenge is to understand and control the viscosity of a PNC with decreasing film thickness confinement for nanoscale applications. Using a combination of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and X-ray standing wave based resonance enhanced XPCS to study the dynamics of neat poly-2-vinyl pyridine (P2VP) chains and the nanoparticle dynamics, respectively, we identified a new mechanism that dictates the viscosity of PNCmore »« less

New approach to electron microscopy imaging of gel nanocomposites in situ

Journal Article Londono-Calderon, Alejandra ; Nayak, Srikanth ; Mosher, Curtis L. ; ... - Micron

We present that characterization of Au-nanocomposites is routinely done with scattering techniques where the structure and ordering of nanoparticles can be analyzed. Imaging of Poloxamer gel-based Au-nanocomposites is usually limited to cryo-TEM imaging of cryo-microtomed thin sections of the specimen. While this approach is applicable for imaging of the individual nanoparticles and gauging their size distribution, it requires altering the state of the specimen and is prone to artifacts associated with preparation protocols. Use of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (S/TEM) with fluid cell in situ provides an opportunity to analysis of these complex materials in their hydrated state with nanometermore »« less
