The objective of our work is to determine:a) whether both of the imaging methods (TEM, STM) yield comparable data andb) which method is better suited for a reliable structure analysis of microclusters smaller than 1.5 nm, where a deviation of the bulk structure is expected.The silver was evaporated in a bell-jar system (p 10−5 pa) and deposited onto a 6 nm thick amorphous carbon film and a freshly cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG).The average deposited Ag thickness is 0.1 nm, controlled by a quartz crystal microbalance at a deposition rate of 0.02 nm/sec. The high resolution TEM investigations (100 kV) were executed by a hollow-cone illumination (HCI). For the STM investigations a commercial STM was used. With special vibration isolation we achieved a resolution of 0.06 nm (inserted diffraction image in Fig. 1c). The carbon film shows the remarkable reduction in noise by using HCI (Fig. 1a). The HOPG substrate (Fig. 1b), cleaved in sheets thinner than 30 nm for the TEM investigations, shows the typical arrangement of a nearly perfect stacking order and varying degrees of rotational disorder (i.e. artificial single crystals). The STM image (Fig. 1c) demonstrates the high degree of order in HOPG with atomic resolution.

The Impact

Background: In December of 2019, the World Health Organization reported a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 [SARS-CoV-2)]) causing severe respiratory illness originating in Wuhan, China. Since then, an increasing number of cases and the confirmation of human-to-human transmission has led to the need to develop a communication campaign at our institution. We describe the impact of the communication campaign on the number of calls received and describe patterns of calls during the early stages of our response to this emerging infection. Methods: The University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics is an 811-bed academic medical center with >200 outpatient clinics. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, we launched a communications campaign on January 17, 2020. Initial communications included email updates to staff and a dedicated COVID-19 webpage with up-to-date information. Subsequently, we developed an electronic screening tool to guide a risk assessment during patient check in. The screening tool identifies travel to China in the past 14 days and the presence of symptoms defined as fever >37.7°C plus cough or difficulty breathing. The screening tool was activated on January 24, 2020. In addition, university staff contacted each student whose primary residence record included Hubei Province, China. Students were provided with medical contact information, signs and symptoms to monitor for, and a thermometer. Results: During the first 5 days of the campaign, 3 calls were related to COVID-19. The number of calls increased to 18 in the 5 days following the implementation of the electronic screening tool. Of the 21 calls received to date, 8 calls (38%) were generated due to the electronic travel screen, 4 calls (19%) were due to a positive coronavirus result in a multiplex respiratory panel, 4 calls (19%) were related to provider assessment only (without an electronic screening trigger), and 2 calls (10%) sought additional information following the viewing of the web-based communication campaign. Moreover, 3 calls (14%) were for people without travel history but with respiratory symptoms and contact with a person with recent travel to China. Among those reporting symptoms after travel to China, mean time since arrival to the United States was 2.7 days (range, 0–11 days). Conclusion: The COVID-19 outbreak is evolving, and providing up to date information is challenging. Implementing an electronic screening tool helped providers assess patients and direct questions to infection prevention professionals. Analyzing the types of calls received helped tailor messaging to frontline staff.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

We prepared four types of Eu2O3- and P2O5-doped Ca2SiO4 phosphors with different phase compositions but identical chemical composition, the chemical formula of which was (Ca1.950Eu3+0.013☐0.037)(Si0.940P0.060)O4 (☐ denotes vacancies in Ca sites). One of the phosphors was composed exclusively of the incommensurate (IC) phase with superspace group Pnma(0β0)00s and basic unit-cell dimensions of a = 0.68004(2) nm, b = 0.54481(2) nm, and c = 0.93956(3) nm (Z = 4). The crystal structure was made up of four types of β-Ca2SiO4-related layers with an interlayer. The incommensurate modulation with wavelength of 4.110 × b was induced by the long-range stacking order of these layers. When increasing the relative amount of the IC-phase with respect to the coexisting β-phase, the red light emission intensity, under excitation at 394 nm, steadily decreased to reach the minimum, at which the specimen was composed exclusively of the IC-phase. The coordination environments of Eu3+ ion in the crystal structures of β- and IC-phases might be closely related to the photoluminescence intensities of the phosphors.

Mg alloys are lightweight structural alloys that normally have a good castability and machinability as well as an excellent specific strength and rigidity. However, the mechanical properties of Mg alloys are inferior to those of Al alloys, and their range of industrial applications is limited. Recently, Mg–Zn–Y alloy has been found to show a high tensile yield strength with a good elongation. The alloy has a long-period stacking order (LPSO) phase as the secondary phase in an α-Mg phase. In general, the tensile yield strengths of LPSO-type Mg alloy are known to be markedly enhanced by the formation of kink bands in the LPSO phase and by microstructural refinement of the α-Mg phase during plastic deformation. The separate roles of the LPSO phase and the α-Mg phase in relation to the mechanical properties of high-strength LPSO-type Mg alloy were investigated at ambient and high temperatures. For high strengths at ambient and high temperatures, it was important that the α-Mg phase consisted of a fine-grain region and a nonrecrystallized region, and that the LPSO phase remained as a block-type phase. On the other hands, it was necessary to change the LPSO phase from a block-type phase into a plate-type phase by heat treatment before tensile testing to improve the ductility of the alloy while maintaining its tensile yield strength. Microstructural control of the LPSO phase and the α-Mg phase is necessary to obtained Mg–Zn–Y alloy with superior mechanical properties at ambient-to-high temperatures.
