Notes:
High temperature structural changes in a W wire are studied in situ by scanning electron microscopy. This is made possible by the microscopic size of the wire. Grain-boundary grooving and faceting are observed in real time. The constriction exhibits a strong thermal gradient (∼100 K μm−1) which is the driving force for the migration mechanisms responsible for the observed phenomena.
