Morphological features of montmorillonite aggregates in a large number of samples suggest that they may be formed by a dendritic crystal growth mechanism (i.e., tree-like growth by branching of a growth front).

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous virus which is implicated in diseases ranging from self-curing cold sores to life-threatening infections. The 2500 Å diameter herpes virion is composed of a glycoprotein spike containing, lipid envelope, enclosing a protein layer (the tegument) in which is embedded the capsid (which contains the dsDNA genome). The B-, and A- and C-capsids, representing different morphogenetic stages in HSV-1 infected cells, are composed of 7, and 5 structural proteins respectively. The three capsid types are organized in similar T=16 icosahedral shells with 12 pentons, 150 hexons, and 320 connecting triplexes. Our previous 3D structure study at 26 Å revealed domain features of all these structural components and suggested probable locations for the outer shell proteins, VP5, VP26, VP19c and VP23. VP5 makes up most of both pentons and hexons. VP26 appeared to bind to the VP5 subunit in hexon but not to that in penton.

CoCr thin films have been of interest for a number of years due to their strong perpendicular anisotropy, favoring magnetization normal to the film plane. The microstructure and magnetic properties of CoCr films prepared by both rf and magnetron sputtering have been examined in detail. By comparison, however, relatively few systematic studies of the magnetic domain structure and its relation to the observed film microstructure have been reported. In addition, questions still remain as to the operative magnetization reversal mechanism in different film thickness regimes. In this work, the magnetic domain structure in magnetron sputtered Co-22 at.%Cr thin films of known microstructure were examined by Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. Additionally, domain nucleation studies were undertaken via in-situ heating experiments.It was found that the 50 nm thick films, which are comprised of columnar grains, display a “dot” type domain configuration (Figure 1d), characteristic of a perpendicular magnetization. The domain size was found to be on the order of a few structural columns in diameter.

HREM studies of the carbonaceous material deposited on the cathode of a Huffman-Krätschmer arc reactor have shown a rich variety of multiple-walled nano-clusters of different shapes and forms. The preparation of the samples, as well as the variety of cluster shapes, including triangular, rhombohedral and pentagonal projections, are described elsewhere.The close registry imposed on the nanotubes, focuses attention on the cluster growth mechanism. The strict parallelism in the graphitic separation of the tube walls is maintained through changes of form and size, often leading to 180° turns, and accommodating neighboring clusters and defects. Iijima et. al. have proposed a growth scheme in terms of pentagonal and heptagonal defects and their combinations in a hexagonal graphitic matrix, the first bending the surface inward, and the second outward. We report here HREM observations that support Iijima’s suggestions, and add some new features that refine the interpretation of the growth mechanism. The structural elements of our observations are briefly summarized in the following four micrographs, taken in a Hitachi H-8100 TEM operating at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV and with a point-to-point resolution of 0.20 nm.

Ferroelectric domains are twins that are formed when PZT undergoes a phase transformation from a non-ferroelectric cubic phase to a ferroelectric tetragonal phase upon cooling below ∼375°C.,1 The tetragonal phase is spontaneously polarized in the direction of c-axis, making each twin a ferroelectric domain. Thin foils of polycrystalline Pb (Zr.52Ti.48)03 were made by ion milling and observed in the Philips EM301 with a double tilt stage.
