Unravelling Nanometallurgy with in Situ Electron-Microscopy: A Case Study with Cu Nanowires

In situ transmission electron microscopy as a toolbox for the emerging science of nanometallurgy

“…40 Similar effects were noted by Coradini et al , who report that Cu NWs sublime through a leak in the oxide layer caused by the thinning of the layer upon heating. 41…”

“…40 Similar effects were noted by Coradini et al, who report that Cu NWs sublime through a leak in the oxide layer caused by the thinning of the layer upon heating. 41 In contrast to Al-Cu, the Al-Au system showed only marginal changes after alloying compared to the initial state. However, a couple of NP clusters dissolved after melting Al (as indicated by the red arrows in Fig.…”
