Abstract
The grain-growth process of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni foils upon heating has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DS C), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) . The direct structural observations have shown that the exothermic ca lorimetric peak detected at about 600 K corresponds to a grain growth process. Furthermore, the TEM pictures indicate that dislocation loops are formed during grain growth. An almost complete recovery of the Cu rie point has also been observed, although its correlation with the st ructural changes is still to be revealed.
