Morphology Changes

Abstract Acinetobacter baylyi are variously reported as spherical or rod-shaped. Here we use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to make quantitative nanometer-scale measurements of cellular length and width for thousands of individual cells. We quantify the heterogeneity of populations grown in varying environmental conditions that dramatically affect cell shape. In particular, we look at morphology changes across a growth curve, and we examine cells from populations grown in various growth media. We also examine the morphology of a minC mutant, which suggests an interpretation for the morphological types observed in wild type cells.

Periodic Nanostructure

This study investigates the morphology changes in thin diblock copolymer (DiBCP) films occurring in the interaction with modified nanoparticles (NPs). Magnetite (Fe3O4) and silica (SiOx) were prepared and used. Poly(pentyl methacrylate-b-methyl methacrylate) (PPMA-b-PMMA) (70/30 mol mol−1, hcp cylinders of the PMMA phase) DiBCP were employed to prepare thin films having thicknesses to realize standing cylinders in pure DiBCP films. The investigations aimed at two topics: (1) morphology after controlled incorporation of organo-modified NP (gold, silver, Fe3O4, SiOx) and (2) additional solvent vapour annealing (SVA) with tetrahydrofuran (and chloroform for comparison). The laterally ordered morphology in thin films was examined by GISAXS and atomic force microscopy. Keeping the same type of morphology in nanocomposites, the dimensions of the periodic nanostructure altered depending on type and amount of incorporated NP. It was found that SiOx clusters enlarge the lateral distance of the PMMA cylinders, whereas metallic NPs reduce this parameter. Applying SVA improves the phase separation slightly, whereas lateral distances were kept constant or were reduced a little. Switching of domain orientation upon SVA could not be detected in the presence of NPs located at the polymer/substrate interface.

Ti Films

Thin film electronic devices that employ resistance change responses of Pt / Ti films to detect gas species have been microfabricated at the University of Michigan. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to investigate morphology of the Pt / Ti sensing films deposited on the microfabricated device. These Pt / Ti sensing films are strongly influenced by many factors, making it difficult to determine the exact relationship between film structure, chemical sensitivity, and selectivity. In-situ AFM investigations of Pt / Ti films on this device at elevated temperatures provides the opportunity for real time observation of film morphology changes under controlled conditions, testing sensing film stability during device operation, and correlating film structure to resistance.Observation of the Pt / Ti film surface and in-situ resistance measurements at elevated temperatures are possible due to the construction of the sensing device. The sensors are based on chemically active thin films deposited on a micromachined silicon window, supported by a 300 μn thick silicon rim.
