摘要
The alpha-Cr2O3 single-crystal nanocondensates were fabricated by pulsed laser ablation in air and characterized by analytical electron microscopy regarding shape-dependent local internal stress of the anisotropic crystal. The nanocondensates formed predominantly as rhombohedra with well-developed {01 (1) over bar2} surfaces and occasionally hexagonal plate with thin {11 (2) over bar0} edges and blunt corners. Such nanocondensates showed Raman shift for the CrO6 polyhedra, indicating a local compressive stress up to ca. 4GPa on the average. Careful analysis of the lattice fringes revealed a local compressive stress (0.5% strain) at the thin edge of the hexagonal plates and a local tensile stress (0.3-1.0% strain) near the relaxed {(1) over bar 012}, {10 (1) over bar1}, and (0001) surfaces of truncated rhombohedra. The combined effects of nanosize, capillarity force at sharp edge, and specific surface relaxation account for the retention of a local internal compressive stress built up in an anisotropic crystal during a very rapid heating-cooling process.
