I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Arndt Mücklich for engaged TEM analysis, for answering all my questions regarding the TEM technique and, especially, for his kindness and support during my stays at FWIS. For TEM observations it has also been essential the technical support given by Frau Martina Missbach and Frau Annette Kunz on the preparation of the samples for X-TEM. They have performed a great work. I would like to thank Dr. Helfried Reuther and Frau Elfi Christalle for the technical support during SEM analyses carried out on my samples as well as their kind support during my stays at the department. I am also grateful to Frau Elke Quaritsch for the big amount of AES measurements performed on my samples. I would like to acknowledge the support of Dr. Frank Eichhorn who was an invaluable source of knowledge concerning XRD. I appreciate his time and patience with our measurements at the FWIS XRD laboratory. I would also like to thank Frau Andrea Scholz for all the XRD measurements that she performed for me in Dresden when I was working on different tasks in Grenoble. She was always very kind to me. I must mention here the support of Dr. Shengqiang Zhou when, just before a beamtime at ROBL, I needed some RBS measurements. Shengqiang immediately performed the work at FZD and sent me the fitted data to ESRF. His wife was just living the last days of her pregnancy. I would also like to acknowledge the support of other members of our group in Dresden, who have made my experience at FZD truly special: Dr. Kurt Walther, Frau Birgit Gebauer, Dr. Natalia Shevchenko, Joachim Kreher, Dr. Jörg Grenzer, Dr. Friedrich Prokert, Rene Weidauer. Winfried Oehme and Siegfried Dienel, from the Department of Research Technology (at FZD), involved in the scientific and technical programme of ROBL, were responsible for technical improvements that led to successful beamtimes. It is also a pleasure to acknowledge the support of Professor Rui Silva (from CENIMAT). Working with Rui has been a rewarding and enjoyable experience. It has been extremely important for me his support, especially on those countless sleepless nights at the beamline. ii
At CENIMAT, Luís Pereira also carried out complementary resistivity measurements, which resulted on a very nice observation of the phase transformation characteristics as a function of the processing parameters. Dr. Karimbi Mahesh went several times to Grenoble to give precious support during the beamtimes. Dr. Andersan Paula was always somehow present when I needed her. Márcia Silva has been in Grenoble during the first beamtime for my <strong>PhD</strong> thesis work. I cannot forget her important support. They are much more than colleagues - they are good friends. My deepest gratitude to Dr. Carla Santos who gave me confidence in my abilities during the thesis writing. Finally, this thesis would not have been possible without the tremendous support and encouragement from my parents and my sister who have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and happiness. iii
