The crystalline structure is accompanied with the noncrystalline and nanocrystalline structures. This characteristic is the reflection of the crystalline process held by quenching. The inverse susceptibilities diverge and deviate from Curie-Weiss law under low applied magnetic fields. This paper proposes the possible mechanism between the anomalous susceptibilities and microstructure, and offers a perspective on the magnetic properties of metastable intermetallic compounds.展开更多

文摘Direct strain mapping from high resolution transmission electron microscopy images is possible for coherent structures.

Image intensity peaks are determined by a cross-correlation technique, which avoids problems from noise in the low spatial frequency range.
