As a simulation study of heavy radiation damage by neutrons, in-situ observation of damage process in molybdenum alloys was performed by a high voltage electron microscope. The objectives of this study are to clarify the processes of defect cluster nucleation and growth, and the role of alloying elements on these in the temperature range from 300K to 1300K.The used molybdenum alloys were Mo-(150-1000)at.ppm.C, Mo-(0.06-0.6)at.%Nb, MO-0.29at.%Hf, MO-(0.026-26)at.%Re and Mo-0.56at.%Ni. The used materials were electron-beam melted and hot rolled at 200-400°C and annealing was performed in the vacuum of l×l0-7torr. at 1800°C for 1.0 hr. The standard irradiation conditions were as follows,Accelerating voltage: 1250KV, Beam intensity: l-6×l019 e/cm2 sec, Incident beam direction: <100>, g-vector: {110},The density of defect clusters was determined by the thickness gradient method.The logarithmic density of interstitial dislocation loops, logNi, increased with the reciprocal irradiation temperature, 1/T. The relation between logNiand 1/T was divided into two Arrhenius type relations above and below 500K.

The implementation of Eco-Pesantren is a contribution of the Islamic Architecture product towards the current global issue. Eco-Pesantren aims to produce a green Islamic boarding school, which contributes a positive effect in terms of environmental conservation and energy saving. Therefore, this research assesses the Eco-Pesantren implementation of Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in Banda Aceh. The research method is descriptive qualitative. The researcher collects data through in-situ observation based on the research tool. The result shows that this Islamic Boarding School is not yet categorized as an Eco-Pesantren. to implement this concept. The management should improve some aspects such as optimizing natural renewable resources, optimizing the existing green space, and optimizing waste management. This study also reveals the role of architects in implementing the Eco-building concept and determines the building performance.

The catalytic gasification of carbon at high temperature by microscopic size metal particles is of fundamental importance to removal of coke deposits and conversion of refractory hydrocarbons into fuels and chemicals. The reaction of metal/carbon/gas systems can be observed by controlled atmosphere electron microscopy (CAEM) in an 100 KV conventional transmission microscope. In the JEOL gas reaction stage model AGl (Fig. 1) the specimen is positioned over a hole, 200μm diameter, in a platinum heater strip, and is interposed between two apertures, 75μm diameter. The control gas flows across the specimen and exits through these apertures into the specimen chamber. The gas is further confined by two apertures, one in the condenser and one in the objective lens pole pieces, and removed by an auxiliary vacuum pump. The reaction zone is <1 mm thick and is maintained at gas pressure up to 400 Torr and temperature up to 1300<C as measured by a Pt-Pt/Rh 13% thermocouple. Reaction events are observed and recorded on videotape by using a Philips phosphor-television camera located below a hole in the center of the viewing screen. The overall resolution is greater than 2.5 nm.

Partially-stabilized ZrO2 (PSZ) ceramics have considerable potential for advanced structural applications because of their high strength and toughness. These properties derive from small tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) precipitates in a cubic (c) ZrO2 matrix, which transform martensitically to monoclinic (m) symmetry under applied stresses. The kinetics of the martensitic transformation is believed to be nucleation controlled and the nucleation is always stress induced. In situ observation of the martensitic transformation using transmission electron microscopy provides considerable information about the nucleation and growth aspects of the transformation.

Small particles of a low-melting phase embedded in a solid matrix with a higher melting point offer the possibility of studying the mechanisms of melting and solidification directly by in-situ observation in a transmission electron microscope. Previous studies of Pb, Cd and other low-melting inclusions embedded in an Al matrix have shown well-defined orientation relationships, strongly faceted shapes, and an unusual size-dependent superheating before melting.[e.g. 1,2].In the present study we have examined the shapes and thermal behavior of eutectic Pb-Cd inclusions in Al. Pb and Cd form a simple eutectic system with each other, but both elements are insoluble in solid Al. Ternary alloys of Al (Pb,Cd) were prepared from high purity elements by melt spinning or by sequential ion implantation of the two alloying additions to achieve a total alloying addition of up to lat%. TEM observations were made using a heating stage in a 200kV electron microscope equipped with a video system for recording dynamic behavior.

A film-sealed high resolution environmental cell(E.C) for observing hydrated materials had been developed by us(l). Main specification of the E.C. is as follows: 1) Accelerated voltage; 100 kV. 2) Gas in the E.C.; saturated water vapour with carrier gas of 50 Torr. 3) Thickness of gas layer; 50 μm. 4) Sealing film; evaporated carbon film(20 nm thick) with plastic microgrid. 5) Resolving power; 1 nm. 6) Transmittance of electron beam; 60% at 100 kV. The E.C. had been successfully applied to the study of hydrated halloysite(2) (3). Kaolin minerals have no interlayer water and are basically non-expandable but form intercalation compounds with some specific chemicals such as hydrazine, formamide and etc. Because of these compounds being mostly changed in vacuum, we tried to reveal the structure changes between in wet air and in vacuum of kaolin minerals intercalated with hydrazine and of hydrated state of montmori1lonite using the E.C. developed by us.
