Fabrication of a nano-magnet on a piezo-driven tip in a TEM sample holder
A nanometer-sized magnet (nano-magnet) was fabricated on the tip of a tungsten needle by electron-beam-induced deposition with Fe(CO)5 gas. The needle tip, which can be moved with a step** motor and piezo-drive...

Electron beam-induced formation of nanosized α-Fe crystals
Focused electron beam induced chemical vapor deposition was performed in a scanning electron microscope with a field emission gun using a precursor of iron carbonyl. Due to the longer deposition time and highe...

Formation of iron silicide nano-islands on Si substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition under electron beams
Electron-beam induced chemical vapor deposition (EBI-CVD) of Fe(CO)5 was performed on both Si (111) and (110) substrates at 673–873 K inside an ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscope. The formation of ...

TEM study of Mg-Zn precipitates in Mg-Zn-Y alloys
The precipitates in Mg-Zn-Y alloys in the as-cast state with nominal atomic composition of Mg96Zn1Y3, Mg96Zn2Y2 and Mg97Zn1Y2 were studied by means of TEM as well as XRD techniques. The results show that there is...
