Shot peening of Ti-45Al-10Nb in air leads to partial amorphisation of the outermost layer and to the formation of a contaminant nanocrystalline (T, Al)N phase, presumably Ti2N. The figure shows dislocation recovery within a nano-crystalline grain embedded into the amorphous phase of the shot peened surface layer, as observed in situ. Three dislocations are marked by symbols. Stage (i): The isolated dislocation on the left hand side is relatively immobile. The two other dislocations are in a dipole configuration and propagate towards each other and are about to annihilate in stage (ii). Stage (iii) shows the situation after annihilation of the dipole dislocations; this is indicated by the continuous trace of the lattice planes. Observations made at room temperature with an acceleration voltage of 300 kV. It should be noted that the micrographs were sligthly compressed along the vertical direction in order to make the dislocations readily visible. The figure demonstrates the high electrical, thermal and mechanical stability of the instrument.

ZnO has large exciton binding energy of about 60 meV so they can be used as transparent electrodes in displays and metal oxide semiconductor in optoelectronic devices. ZnO also is an attractive piezoelectric materials mainly used in surface accuostic waves components and piezoelectric devices.

There are two membranes with nanosized holes in silicon, produced by focused ion beam milling. The total width of each membrane is about 150 nm. The diameter of big holes is about 400 nm and small holes - 150 nm. Such structures can be applied in systems on chip.

Twinning defects in Bilayer (flower) and Trilayer (hexagon, bottom) Oriented graphene sheets are revealed by contrast changes in this series of Warhal-inspired Dark-Field TEM images. Strain induced Moire patterns (hexagon, top) are caused by a small lattice mismatch in the first and third layers. The layers are colored by their thickness, and each of the six images correspond to a different diffraction peak, providing unique information regarding the nature of these defects.
