Application of Transmission Electron Microscopy to the Study of Transition Metal Carbides

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 185))

Abstract

The importance and interest of Transmission Electron Microscopy for the microstructural characterization of transition metal carbides is illustrated through selected examples concerning ordering phenomena, irradiation studies and dislocation problems. Special attention is devoted to recent advances permitted by the application of High Resolution techniques.
