Abstract

Partially ordered Ni₄Mo alloys were observed for the first time at an atomic resolution with high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The Mo atomic columns in the D1_a ordered structure were clearly visualized as bright square dots in the HAADF-STEM image. It was found that the ordered regions were observed with a high contrast in the defocus condition a little overfocused from the Scherzer defocus (Δf = √C_S · γ) which is the condition for the smallest electron probe in STEM. The phenomenon was interpreted successfully by using the approximate imaging theory for HAADF-STEM proposed by Jesson et al. Using the present experimental and simulation results, an approximate imaging theory for visualizing short range ordered state in binary alloys, such as the Ni₄Mo alloys, is proposed.
