We investigated the oxidation of nanocrystalline aluminum surfaces by using variable charge molecular dynamics at 600 K under three oxygen pressures: 1, 10 and 20 atm. The interaction potential was described by the electrostatic plus (Es+) model that allows dynamical charge transfer among atoms. We mainly focused on the effect of the oxygen pressure on the oxidation kinetic, the chemical composition and the microstructure of the oxide films formed. The results show that oxidation kinetics as well as chemical composition and microstructure depend on the applied oxygen pressure. The oxide film thickness tends to a limiting value equal to ~3 nm. Finally, we obtained a partially crystalline oxide films for all oxygen pressures and we observed that the degree of crystallinity increases with time.

The optic axis of an electron microscope objective lens is usually assumed to be straight and co-linear with the mechanical center. No reason exists to assume such perfection and, indeed, simple reasoning suggests that it is a complicated curve. A current centered objective lens with a non-linear optic axis when used in conjunction with other lenses, leads to serious image errors if the nature of the specimen is such as to produce intense inelastic scattering.

Optical quality zinc oxide films have been characterized using reflection electron diffraction (RED), replication electron microscopy (REM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Significant microstructural differences were observed between rf sputtered films and planar magnetron rf sputtered films. Piezoelectric materials have been attractive for applications to integrated optics since they provide an active medium for signal processing. Among the desirable physical characteristics of sputtered ZnO films used for this and related applications are a highly preferred crystallographic texture and relatively smooth surfaces. It has been found that these characteristics are very sensitive to the type and condition of the substrate and to the several sputtering parameters: target, rf power, gas composition and substrate temperature.
