Deformation twinning in hexagonal crystals is often considered as a way to palliate the lack of independent slip systems. This mechanism might be either exacerbated or shut down in small-scale crystals whose mechanical behavior can significantly deviate from bulk materials. Here, we show that sub-micron beryllium fibers initially free of dislocation and tensile tested in-situ in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) deform by a ${ 10bar{1}2 }$ $langle 10bar{1}1 rangle$ twin thickening. The propagation speed of the twin boundary seems to be entirely controlled by the nucleation of twinning dislocations directly from the surface. The shear produced is in agreement with the repeated lateral motion of twinning dislocations. We demonstrate that the activation volume ($V$) associated with the twin boundary propagation can be retrieved from the measure of the twin boundary speed as the stress decreases as in a classical relaxation mechanical test. The value of $V approx 8.3 pm 3.3 times 10^{-29}m^3$ is comparable to the value expected from surface nucleation.

TEM specimens from potassium niobate single crystals were observed while being heated in a TEM. DWs and dislocations were observed; the DWs were mobile. In certain cases the DWs became pinned by the dislocations, at least for a short time, most likel
y due to interaction of strain fields. Both phase changes were observed with accompanying rapid appearance of new domain patterns.
Low temperature growth Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (PCMO) thin film showed high performance in electric field induced resistance switching (RS). To understand the micro-mechanism of RS in Metal/PCMO/Metal devices, structure evolution of PCMO under external electr
ic field monitored inside transmission electron microscope (TEM) were performed. Evolution of the modulation stripe in as-grown PCMO sample was investigated when applying electric field. The new-generated modulation stripe gradually disappeared. These results indicate that oxygen ion migration plays a key role in RS.
Twinning in crystalline materials plays an important role in many transformation and deformation processes, where underlying mechanisms can be strongly influenced by the structural, energetic and kinetic properties of associated twin boundaries (TBs)
. While these properties are well characterized in common cases, the possibility that TBs can display multiple complexions with distinct properties, and phase transitions between them, has not been widely explored, even though such phenomena are established in a few more general grain boundaries. We report experimental findings that {11-24} TBs in titanium display a thick interfacial region with crystalline structure distinct from the bulk. First-principles calculations establish that this complexion is linked to a metastable polymorph of titanium, and exhibits behavior consistent with a solid-state wetting transition with compressive strain, and a first-order structural transition under tension. The findings document rich TB complexion behavior in an elemental metal, with important implications for mechanical behavior and phase-transformation pathways.
The effect of silica-promotion on the reduction of iron oxides in hydrogen was investigated using in situ X-ray diffraction and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy to understand the mechanism of reduction and the identity of the iro
n(II) silicate phase that has historically been designated as the cause of the iron-silica interaction in such materials. In the absence of a silica promoter the reduction of hematite to {alpha}-Fe proceeds via magnetite. Silica promoted amorphous iron oxide is reduced to {alpha}-Fe via stable magnetite and wustite phases. During reduction of silica-promoted iron oxide, Fe0 diffuses out of the amorphous silica-promoted iron oxide matrix upon reduction from Fe2+ and coexists with an amorphous Fe-O-Si matrix. Certain portions of wustite remain difficult to reduce to {alpha}-Fe owing to the formation of a protective silica-containing layer covering the remaining iron oxide regions. Given sufficient energy, this amorphous Fe-O-Si material forms ordered, crystalline fayalite.
We present in-situ Raman measurements of laser-induced oxidation in exfoliated single-layer graphene. By using high-power laser irradiation, we can selectively and in a controlled way initiate the oxidation process and investigate its evolution over
time. Our results show that the laser-induced oxidation process is divided into two separate stages, namely tensile strain due to heating and subsequent $p$-type doping due to oxygen binding. We discuss the temporal evolution of the $D/G$-mode ratio during oxidation and explain the unexpected steady decrease of the defect-induced $D$ mode at long irradiation times. Our results provide a deeper understanding of the oxidation process in single-layer graphene and demonstrate the possibility of sub-$mu$m patterning of graphene by an optical method.
