title = "Interfacial observations of Ni/Ni3Si and Ni/Ni3Ga diffusion couples",
abstract = "Microstructural observations and selected-area electron diffraction analyses are conducted around the diffusion-couple interfaces of Ni/Ni3Si and Ni/Ni3Ga. The Ni-rich solid solution phase (γ phase) grows towards the Ni3Si- or Ni3Ga-based intermetallic phase (γ′ phase) during diffusion annealing and there exists the same crystallographic orientation relationship between the γ and γ′ phases. It is demonstrated that this growth process and structural faeatures are characteristic of the diffusion couples between pure Ni and Ni-based intermetallics with the Ll2-type crystal structure. It is shown that the focused-ion-beam cutting technique is a useful tool for preparing thin specimens for transmission electron microscopy.",
