Cross section for 241Am(n,2n)240Am reaction has been measured at the VdG Tandem accelerator of NCSR “Demokritos", at neutron beam energy 10.4 MeV, using the activation technique. The high purity and high radioactivity (5GBq) Am target has been constructed at IRMM, Belgium and consisted of 40 mg Am in the form of AmO2 pressed into pellet with Al2O3 and encapsulated into Al container. The absolute flux of the beam was obtained with respect to the 27Al(n,α)24Na reference reaction. The induced gamma-ray activity of 240Am and 24Na was measured with high resolution HPGe detectors.

The energy levels of 151Sm have been investigated through a study of the decay of 28.4 h 151Pm. Singles gamma-ray spectra were obtained with high resolution Ge(Li) detectors having volumes of 0.9 and 12 cm3. Two Ge(Li) coincidence spectrometers (37 cm3 – 50 cm3 and 0.9 cm3 – 50 cm3) operated in a two-parameter configuration (4096 × 4096) were employed in collecting coincidence data. Two hundred and seventeen transitions have been incorporated into a level scheme involving 39 levels in 151Sm. On the basis of beta and gamma selection rules, spin–parity assignments have been suggested for most of the levels.

The decay of 146Gd to levels of 146Eu has been studied using high resolution X-ray and γ-ray detectors. γ–γ directional correlation studies, using X and γ-ray Ge(Li) detectors, were made to assign the spins of the low lying states in 146Eu. γ–γ coincidence experiments with two Ge(Li) detectors and between Eu X rays and γ rays were performed to pin down the levels of 146Eu. On the basis of these measurements, Jπ of 4−, 3−, 2−, and 1− have been assigned respectively to the ground, 115.66, 230.51, and 385.11 keV states in 146Eu. More accurate evaluation of the E2 admixtures in the M1 transitions, 114.85, 115.66, and 154.60 keV, have been obtained. Based on the above results a tentative level scheme for 146Eu has been proposed.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Multilayered materials have been fabricated with such high perfection that individual layers having two atoms deep are possible. Characterization of the interfaces between these multilayers is achieved by high resolution electron microscopy and Figure 1a shows the cross-section of one type of multilayer. The production of such an image with atomically smooth interfaces depends upon certain factors which are not always reliable. For example, diffusion at the interface may produce complex interlayers which are important to the properties of the multilayers but which are difficult to observe. Similarly, anomalous conditions of imaging or of fabrication may occur which produce images having similar traits as the diffusion case above, e.g., imaging on a tilted/bent multilayer sample (Figure 1b) or deposition upon an unaligned substrate (Figure 1c). It is the purpose of this study to simulate the image of the perfect multilayer interface and to compare with simulated images having these anomalies.

In the 30 years since the discovery of the nucleosome, our picture of it has come into sharp focus. The recent high-resolution structures have provided a wealth of insight into the function of the nucleosome, but they are inherently static. Our current knowledge of how nucleosomes can be reconfigured dynamically is at a much earlier stage. Here, recent advances in the understanding of chromatin structure and dynamics are highlighted. The ways in which different modes of nucleosome reconfiguration are likely to influence each other are discussed, and some of the factors likely to regulate the dynamic properties of nucleosomes are considered.

Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.
