Abstract
The process of diffusion bonding between nanometre-sized zinc oxide cr ystallites in vacuum-deposited films is observed dynamically at atomic resolution by transmission electron microscopy for the first time. It is found that the nanocrystallites, having clean surfaces, bond witho ut any solders at ambient temperature, and that neck growth proceeds i nstantly after contact under electron irradiation.
