Abstract

Abstract Electron correlation microscopy (ECM) is used to investigate atomic dynamics in metallic glasses (MG) close to metastable equilibrium. It temporally correlates diffracted intensities of a time series of dark-field images to deduce a metric for structural decays. The measurement parameters, such as time and temperature, must be chosen according to the material of interest. In this work, ECM was extended to measurements at room temperature. To ensure, or select, a time window with quasi-thermodynamic equilibrium/steady-state measurement conditions, two-time correlation functions of diffracted intensities were calculated. The dynamics at room temperature are partly driven by the electron beam, thus affecting the material and the results. A systematic analysis of the influence of the electron beam is presented, revealing an inverse relation between electron dose rate and intensity correlation decay times at 300 kV acceleration voltage. However, the underlying dynamical mechanisms, described by a stretching exponent, are found to be independent of the applied electron dose rate for a Pd40Ni40P20 MG. An extrapolation of the results to infinite long measurement times and zero dose rate agrees with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy data and justifies the application of beam-driven ECM at room temperature to study the dynamics of disordered systems.
