In situ transmission electron microscopy imaging of grain growth in a platinum nanobridge induced by electric current annealing [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We report an in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging of grain growth in a Pt nanobridge induced by a high electric current density. The change in morphology at the nanoscale was recorded in real time together with the electrical characterization of the Pt nanobridge. We find a drop in the differential resistance as the voltage across the bridge is increased; TEM inspection shows that this coincides with thermally induced grain growth, indicating that a reduction of grain boundary scattering is the cause of the resistance decrease.
