Abstract

Nanostructured materials were directly imaged by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Images suggested that nanostructured palladium (Pd) consisted of equiaxed crystals of ≈ 10 nm diameter joined together by grain boundaries. Migration of the grain boundaries in nanostructured Pd was stimulated by STM (but not AFM), resulting in a preferential alignment of the nanometer-sized grains.
