In single and polycrystalline copper rolled to a reduction of 95 %, the topographic arrangements of crystallite orientations were determined over large areas by means of electron microscopy. Correlated data on orientation, diffraction site, and transmission pictures in three cross-sections perpendicular to the normal, rolling and transverse directions were obtained and evaluated. These results were complemented by X-ray studies of the texture. The rolled polycrystalline structure consists of roughly disc-shaped regions of uniform orientation which are fairly strongly misoriented with respect to each other. The planes of the discs lie paral.lel to the rolling plane. Within these regions of uniform orientation lie elongated subgrains extended in the longitudinal and transverse directions. In a surface layer of a few microns thickness the dryly rolled single crystals have essentially a (100)[011] texture. This is independent of the orientation of the interior of the material. The observed structures are discussed with respect to possible formation mechanisms.

This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of column formation mechanisms in Al2O3–TiC ceramics micromachined using excimer lasers. Chemical and structural characterization of columns grown in Al2O3–TiC composite processed with 200 KrF laser pulses at 10 J/cm2 was carried out by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. Fully developed columns consist of a core of unprocessed material surrounded by an outer layer of Al2TiO5, formed in oxidizing conditions, and an inner layer, formed in reducing conditions, composed of TiC and Al3Ti or an AlTi solid solution. Possible mechanisms of column formation are discussed.

Abstract:An innovative approach, combining field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis, is presented to investigate the degradation mechanisms affecting tannin-dyed wool. In fact, tannin-dyed textiles are more sensitive to degradation then those dyed with other dyestuffs, even in the same conservation conditions.FESEM-EDX was first used to study a set of 48 wool specimens (artificially aged) dyed with several raw materials and mordants, and prepared according to historical dyeing recipes. EDX analysis was performed on the surface of wool threads and on their cross-sections. In addition, in order to validate the model formulated by the analysis of reference materials, several samples collected from historical and archaeological textiles were subjected to FESEM-EDX analysis.FESEM-EDX investigations enabled us to reveal the correlation between elemental composition and morphological changes. In addition, aging processes were clarified by studying changes in the elemental composition of wool from the protective cuticle to the fiber core in cross-sections. Morphological and elemental analysis of wool specimens and of archaeological and historical textiles showed that the presence of tannins increases wool damage, primarily by causing a sulfur decrease and fiber oxidation.

Earlymost Villafranchian fossil bones of an artiodactyl and a perissodactyl from the Milia excavation site in Grevena, Greece, were studied in order to evaluate diagenetic effects. Optical microscopy revealed the different bone types (fibro-lamellar and Haversian, respectively) of the two fragments and their good preservation state. The spatial distribution of bone apatite and soil-originating elements was studied using micro-X-ray fluorescence (µ-XRF) mapping and scanning electron microscopy. The approximate value of the Ca/P ratio was 2.2, as determined from scanning electron microscopy measurements. Bacterial boring was detected close to the periosteal region and Fe bearing oxides were found to fill bone cavities,e.g.Haversian canals and osteocyte lacunae. In the perissodactyl bone considerable amounts of Mn were detected close to cracks (the Mn/Fe weight ratio takes values up to 3.5). Goethite and pyrite were detected in both samples by means of metallographic microscopy. The local Ca/P ratio determined with µ-XRF varied significantly in metal-poor spots indicating spatial inhomogeneities in the ionic substitutions. XRF line scans that span the bone cross sections revealed that Fe and Mn contaminate the bones from both the periosteum and medullar cavity and aggregate around local maxima. The formation of goethite, irrespective of the local Fe concentration, was verified by the FeK-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra. Finally, SrK-edge extended XAFS (EXAFS) revealed that Sr substitutes for Ca in bone apatite without obvious preference to the Ca1or Ca2unit-cell site occupation.

ABSTRACTLaser pulse melted single crystals of several metals have been examined by the Rutherford backscattering/channeling technique and with optical and scanning electron microscopy. Metals belonging to the three major structure groups; fcc (Ni, Pd, Rh); bcc(Mo, Nb, W, Fe); and hcp (Be, Ti, Re) have been studied at various laser power levels and in different crystallographic orientations. Of these cases, Be, Ti and Fe show high temperature allotropes which are expected to influence the character of the resolidified surface layer.

C60/C70: Ni films with 1.5 wt. % Ni concentration obtained by vacuum deposition under different thermal conditions have been investigated. The structural changes of the layers were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, electron and x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The polycrystalline structure was detected for the layers grown at approximately 450 K on the substrate. At elevated temperature and maintained temperature gradient on the substrate during the process, the changes of the layer's structure and the formation of Ni microcrystals were observed. The Ni microcrystals (5–10 nm in the diameter) and the elongated shapes dimensioned 10 × 150 nm were perceived.

Ba8Ga16Ge30 clathrate material has being intensely investigated as a candidate of promising thermoelectric materials. In this work, Ba8Ga16+xSbxGe30-2x (x=0,1) single crystals have been synthesized by the Ga flux method, using high purity elemental Ba, Sb, Ga, and Ge as starting materials. Powder X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the single crystals. Seebeck coefficient of the crystals was measured from 300 to 800 K. The result indicates that the crystals are p-type semiconductor, which is different from the crystals synthesized by the Czochralski method. The Seebeck coefficient almost does not change after doping Sb in the whole temperature measured and it is in the range of 200 to 300μV/K.

The high pressure and high temperature sintering of α-Si3N4 and γ-Si3N4 with Y2O3-Al2O3-La2O3 as additives were studied under pressures of 5.4 GPa and temperatures of 1420-1770 K. The effects of sintering temperatures and pressures on properties of sintered ceramic samples were investigated with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that γ-Si3N4 and α-Si3N4 is transformed to β-Si3N4 completely. The highest relative densities and Vickers hardness (HV) of sintered samples are 98.71 and 21.76GPa, respectively. The sintered samples were composed of elongated β-Si3N4 rod crystals with disordered orientation and had intergranular interlocks and uniform and compact microstructure. Pulled out crystal grains on the fractured cross sections were obviously observed by SEM.
