INTRODUCTION

It has been reported by many authors that metastable β-Ti alloys such as Ti-Nb, Ti-V and Ti- Mo indicate the negative temperature dependence of electrical resistivity at low temperature since Ames et al., found the dependence on Ti-Nb alloys in 1954. Williams et al., suggested that the phenomenon resulted from formation of athermal co-phase crystals. In order to clarify the origin, electron diffraction pattern analyses were carried out using a specimen cooling stage and both of start and finish temperatures of formation of athermal co-phase crystals were decided. However, it is necessary to reveal the morphology of athermal ω-phase crystals to study the relationship between the electrical resistivity change and appearance of athermal ω-phase crystals. On the other hand, although electron diffraction pattern analyses are able to identify the atomic structures of crystals, which appear the diffraction spots, it is not so easy to reveal the detailed morphology of the crystals. Also, it has to consider effects of electron irradiation to transformations.
