Abstract

The systematic study of the defect structure evolution in single crystal specimens deformed in situ in the high voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) was started around 1977 in the Baikov Metallurgy Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences. All the experience gathered for the past 30 years has set up the basis for the determination of the way that metals adapt to the different physical factors inside the HVTEM column. In the present work the detailed phenomenology of the generation and propagation process of cracks in single crystals of Mo with different crystallographic orientations as well as the kinetics of opening of primary and secondary cracks and the tip evolution for cracks with different dislocation generation sources is presented.
