A detailed inter-molecular (synthonic) analysis of terbutaline sulfate, an ionic addition salt for inhalation drug formulation, is related to its crystal morphology, the surface chemistry of the habit faces and hence to its crystal surface energy.

The formation of oxide structures on single crystal films of metals has been investigated using the REMEDIE system (for Reflection Electron Microscopy and Electron Diffraction at Intermediate Energies) (1). Using this instrument scanning images can be obtained with a 5 to 15keV incident electron beam by collecting either secondary or diffracted electrons from the crystal surface (2). It is particularly suited to studies of the present sort where the surface reactions are strongly related to surface morphology and crystal defects and the growth of reaction products is inhomogeneous and not adequately described in terms of a single parameter. Observation of the samples has also been made by reflection electron diffraction, reflection electron microscopy and replication techniques in a JEM-100B electron microscope.A thin single crystal film of copper, epitaxially grown on NaCl of (100) orientation, was repositioned on a large copper single crystal of (111) orientation.

Although no longer unique in its ability to resolve individual single atoms on surfaces, the field ion microscope remains a powerful tool for the quantitative characterization of atomic processes on single-crystal surfaces. Investigations of single-atom surface diffusion, adatom-adatom interactions, surface reconstructions, cluster nucleation and growth, and a variety of surface chemical reactions have provided new insights to the atomic nature of surfaces. Moreover, the ability to determine the chemical identity of selected atoms seen in the field ion microscope image by atom-probe mass spectroscopy has increased or even changed our understanding of solid-state-reaction processes such as ordering, clustering, precipitation and segregation in alloys. This presentation focuses on the operational principles of the field-ion microscope and atom-probe mass spectrometer and some very recent applications of the field ion microscope to the nucleation and growth of metal clusters on metal surfaces.The structure assumed by clusters of atoms on a single-crystal surface yields fundamental information on the adatom-adatom interactions important in crystal growth. It was discovered in previous investigations with the field ion microscope that, contrary to intuition, the initial structure of clusters of Pt, Pd, Ir and Ni atoms on W(110) is a linear chain oriented in the <111> direction of the substrate.

A Philips EM 420 electron microscope equipped with a field emission gun and an external STEM unit was used to compare images of single crystal surfaces taken by conventional reflection electron microscopy (REM) and scanning reflection electron microscopy (SREM). In addition an angle-resolving detector system developed by Daberkow and Herrmann was used to record SREM images with the detector shape adjusted to different details of the convergent beam reflection high energy electron diffraction (CBRHEED) pattern.Platinum single crystal spheres with smooth facets, prepared by melting a thin Pt wire in an oxyhydrogen flame, served as objects. Fig. 1 gives a conventional REM image of a (111)Pt single crystal surface, while Fig. 2 shows a SREM record of the same area. Both images were taken with the (555) reflection near the azimuth. A comparison shows that the contrast effects of atomic steps are similar for both techniques, although the depth of focus of the SREM image is reduced as a result of the large illuminating aperture. But differences are observed at the lengthened images of small depressions and protrusions formed by atomic steps, which give a symmetrical contrast profile in the REM image, while an asymmetric black-white contrast is observed in the SREM micrograph. Furthermore the irregular structures which may be seen in the middle of Fig. 2 are not visible in the REM image, although it was taken after the SREM record.

It is necessary to formpinning centers in superconductors to allow the flow of large currents throughthe specimens. To clarify the properties of pinning centers, it is preferableto investigate single crystals. In this study, heat treatment was used to dopevarious oxides into Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox(Bi-2212) single crystals prepared by self-flux methods and the criticalcurrent (Ic) was measured. The oxides used in this study were Al2O3and the rare earth oxides Er2O3and Nd2O3. At 77K, Nd2O3and Er2O3 are magnetic, whereas Al2O3is nonmagnetic. The Ic of the samples were measured as a current per width of 1cm (Ics). The resulting Ics of the Bi-2212 single crystal was 2.8A/cm and thatof the Al2O3 doped Bi-2212 sample was 4.5A/cm. Comparedwith these samples, doping the other rare earth oxides gave Ics values inexcess 10A/cm. The results indicated that the doping oxides were effective inoperating as pinning centers in the samples. We assumed the current path in asingle crystal, and calculated the Ics by superconducting current simulation.The results indicated that the oxides permeated from a crystal surface in aporous shape. The oxides increase the current which flow in the Cu-O2planes that are parallel to the a-b plane.
