Introduction

Mechanical properties of materials are highly related to microstructure and how the defects move in lattice. Alloying elements can significantly influence mechanical properties by tuning defects structure or behaviors. The broad field of electron microscopy (EM) instrumentation development holds great promise for addressing these problems due to its abilities to reach inherently high spatial resolution, to apply precise external fields, to visualize the behaviors of defects and to perform accurate measurements of the corresponding responses simultaneously. We are doing hard work on using advanced characterizations to explore the structure-property relationship in Metals.
