- The growth of small supported metal crystals under the influence of an electron beam has been studied in real-time using a 400 keV ultra-high-resolution electron microscope. Samples of Pt, Rh, Cd and Zn supported on amorphous C or Si films were prepared ex situ and crystal growth in situ was recorded directly using a TV imaging/video system attached to the microscope. The different types of observed crystal growth are reported: the fcc metals (Pt and Rh) grow by coalescence, or by the addition of atoms along the particle surface followed by structural rearrangements which result in approximately spherical particles. The hcp metals (Cd and Zn) grow in the form of long rafts along the surface of the substrate film.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Structural rearrangements in small Pt crystals, which were initiated by the incident electron beam, have been studied in real time with a 400 kV high-resolution electron microscope equipped with TV image viewing and videorecording facilities. The phenomena of crystal growth, particle coalescence and atomic clouds above particular surfaces were recorded at the atomic level and have been analysed using frame-by-frame playback facilities.
