Figure 4: TB thickness evolution upon relaxation.

From: Dislocation-mediated relaxation in nanograined columnar palladium films revealed by on-chip time-resolved HRTEM testing

Figure 4

(a–c) HRTEM images showing Σ3 {111} TBs at t=4 h, 3 and 36 days after release. Note the increase in the TB thickness from a–b in the filtered images at the upper right insets of the micrographs, with 5-nm scale bar. No significant change of the TB thickness from b–c is observed. (d) Evolution of the TB thickness ratio (T measured/T initial) of the TB1 and TB2 in a. A plateau is reached after 10 days.
