The conditions of formation of the ZrO2 and HfO2 high-temperature (tetragonal and cubic) phases in the ablated nanoparticles were investigated. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy data demonstrate that laser intensities above 109 W/m2 ensure the formation of the ZrO2 high-temperature phases, while intensities above 5·109 W/m2 do the formation of the HfO2 high-temperature phases. Quantitative content of the high-temperature phases in layers of the ablated nanoparticles increases with raising the intensity. The obtained nanoparticles exhibit good thermal stability.

High Resolution Microscopy

ABSTRACTQuantitative high resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction have been used to study films of YBa2Cu3O7-δ grown on LaAlO3 substrates at low substrate temperatures. Based on analysis of high-resolution micrographs, it is asserted that the films are b-axis oriented near the film-substrate interface, and switch to a-axis oriented at some distance away from the interface, in a manner which varies from sample to sample. Thus, the films undergo a change in orientation as a function of distance from the substrate. X-ray diffraction confirms that these films contain both a-axis oriented and b-axis oriented components normal to the plane of the substrate, consistent with the high-resolution microscopy data.

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the single global archive of 3D biomacromolecular structure data. The archive is managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB; wwpdb.org) organisation through its partners, the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB PDB), the Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBj), the Protein Data Bank in Europe and the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank (BMRB). Analogously, the Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) is managed by the EMDataBank (emdatabank.org) organisation. A few years ago, realising the needs and opportunities to assess the quality of biomacromolecular structures deposited in the PDB, the wwPDB and EMDataBank partners established Validation Task Forces (VTFs) to advice them on up-to-date and community-agreed methods and standards to validate X-ray, NMR and 3DEM structures and data. All three VTFs have now published their recommendations (1, 2, 3) and these are getting implemented as validation-software pipelines . The pipelines are integrated in the new joint wwPDB deposition and annotation system (http://deposit.wwpdb.org/deposition/). In addition, stand-alone servers are provided to allow practising structural biologists to validate models prior to publication and deposition (http://wwpdb.org/validation-servers.html). The validation pipelines and the output they produce (human-readable PDF reports and machine-readable XML files) will be described.

AbstractNew X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy data are given for the incorporation of Np and Pu in zirconolite, at levels of tens of percent. The actinide valences and the cations they replace are deduced from the microanalysis of the zirconolite compositions, and X-ray absorption data are used to obtain more direct information on the valences of Ce and Nd, which are used as simulants of Pu and trivalent actinides respectively. Trivalent rare earths and actinides have extensive solid solubility in zirconolite, mainly but not exclusively in the Ca site. Tetravalent rare earths and actinides have considerable solid solubility in the Zr site of zirconolite, and some solubility in the Ca site, but the strong tendency of zirconolite with ions substituted in the Zr site to undergo phase separation complicates structural interpretation. In zirconolite-rich Synroc-type ceramics designed to immobilise waste actinides, the target actinide waste loading has been set at 20 wt% and early leach results indicate the durability is at least as good as that of Synroc-C.

Synthesis Approach

An alternative synthetic route for obtaining bulk forms of the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−x has been investigated. The approach is based on first preparing the phases Y2Cu2O5 and BaCuO2, followed by a single sintering of an appropriate mixture of these intermediate compounds to produce the superconducting phase. The resulting materials are largely single-phase as shown by x-ray diffraction, and have densities as high as 86% of the theoretical value, and superconducting onset temperatures of 93 K with magnetic shielding factors ranging from 0.85 to 1.02 (±0.05). Metallography and scanning electron microscopy data were also obtained on the best (high Tc, high shielding factors) of the samples. This synthesis approach is believed to be simpler, more reproducible, and has the potential of producing better materials than previously used bulk synthesis methods.

Main Components

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
