Future development of ferroelectric random access memory requires the integration of three-dimensional ferroelectric capacitors (FeCAP) in a microelectronic architecture. In this paper, pin-shaped two-dimensional and three-dimensional Sr0.8Bi2.2Ta2O9-based FeCAP arrays were characterized using an original approach combining micro-focused synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and diffraction. From a modelling approach, dimensional, chemical and microstructural details were extracted over a series of capacitor arrays. Hence, these techniques proved insightful for a non-destructive benchmarking approach. In addition, for all investigated capacitor geometries, the micro-fluorescence experiments evidenced a well controlled chemical composition within the FeCAP arrays, attesting the stability of the elaboration and integration steps. Nevertheless, micro-diffraction experiments have indicated a lower control of the ferroelectric film crystallographic orientation from one capacitor to the next, despite a well defined chemical composition. This feature was attributed to the presence of patterned bottom electrodes, bringing to light the role of the slanted capacitor sidewalls in the three-dimensional geometry and partially explaining the non-optimized electrical polarization usually measured in three-dimensional capacitors with respect to planar geometry.

The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.

The present knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of ribosomes is far too limited to enable a complete understanding of the various roles which ribosomes play in protein biosynthesis. The spatial arrangement of proteins and ribonuclec acids in ribosomes can be analysed in many ways. Determination of binding sites for individual proteins on ribonuclec acid and locations of the mutual positions of proteins on the ribosome using labeling with fluorescent dyes, cross-linking reagents, neutron-diffraction or antibodies against ribosomal proteins seem to be most successful approaches. Structure and function of ribosomes can be correlated be depleting the complete ribosomes of some proteins to the functionally inactive core and by subsequent partial reconstitution in order to regain active ribosomal particles.

Previous freeze fracture results on the intact giant, amoeba Chaos carolinensis indicated the presence of a fibrillar arrangement of filaments within the cytoplasm. A complete interpretation of the three dimensional ultrastructure of these structures, and their possible role in amoeboid movement was not possible, since comparable results could not be obtained with conventional fixation of intact amoebae. Progress in interpreting the freeze fracture images of amoebae required a more thorough understanding of the different types of filaments present in amoebae, and of the ways in which they could be organized while remaining functional.The recent development of a calcium sensitive, demembranated, amoeboid model of Chaos carolinensis has made it possible to achieve a better understanding of such functional arrangements of amoeboid filaments. In these models the motility of demembranated cytoplasm can be controlled in vitro, and the chemical conditions necessary for contractility, and cytoplasmic streaming can be investigated. It is clear from these studies that “fibrils” exist in amoeboid models, and that they are capable of contracting along their length under conditions similar to those which cause contraction in vertebrate muscles.
