title: In situ structural analysis of crystalline Fe-Mo-C nanoparticle catalysts during the growth of carbon nanotubes.
abstract: We show that image simulation is invaluable for the interpretation of time-dependent environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) images. Experimental ETEM images of a crystalline nanoparticle catalyst (NPC) during the growth of carbon nanotubes were compared with simulated images of the Fe(21)Mo(2)C(6) structure that was observed along various directions. Lattice images that appear in the NPC at different times can be accounted for by considering only the Fe(21)Mo(2)C(6) structure.
