ABSTRACTSingle crystals of A1N to 1 mm thickness were grown in the range 1950-2250°C on 10×10 mm2 α(6H)-SiC(0001) substrates via sublimation-recondensation method. Hot pressed polycrystalline AlN was used as the source material. The color varied from transparent to dark green/blue. The crystal morphology varied with growth conditions. Most crystals were 0.3 mm -1 mm thick transparent layers which completely covered the substrates. Raman, optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results are presented. Single crystals of gallium nitride (GaN) were also grown by subliming powders of this material under an ammonia (NH3) flow. Optical microscopy, Raman and photoluminescence results are shown.

The current imaging trend in optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is to record all data digitally. Most manufacturers currently market digital acquisition systems with their microscope packages. The advantages of digital acquisition include: almost instant viewing of the data as a high-quaity positive image (a major benefit when compared to TEM images recorded onto film, where one must wait until after the microscope session to develop the images); the ability to readily quantify features in the images and measure intensities; and extremely compact storage (removable 5.25” storage devices which now can hold up to several gigabytes of data).The problem for many researchers, however, is that they have perfectly serviceable microscopes that they routinely use that have no digital imaging capabilities with little hope of purchasing a new instrument.

Modulated Structures

Bi-based superconducting phases have been found to be members of a structural series represented by Bi2Sr2Can−1Cun−1On+4, n=1,2,3, and are referred to as 2201, 2212, 2223 phases. All these phases are incommensurate modulated structures. The super space groups are P2/b, NBbmb 2201, 2212 phases respectively. Pb-doped ceramic samples and single crystals and Y-doped single crystals have been studied by transmission electron microscopy.Modulated structures of all Bi-based superconducting phases are in b-c plane, therefore, it is the best way to determine modulated structure and c parameter in diffraction pattern. FIG. 1,2,3 show diffraction patterns of three kinds of modulations in Pb-doped ceramic samples. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) confirms the presence of Pb in the three modulated structures. Parameters c are 3 0.06, 38.29, 30.24Å, ie 2212, 2223, 2212 phases for FIG. 1,2,3 respectively. Their average space groups are all Bbmb.

Asbestos fibre texture occurs in various mineral groups (e.g. chrysotile, crocidolite, tremolite, grunerite, tourmaline) and it has been established that at least chrysotile is carcinogenic. We are investigating various aspects of the asbestos structure, with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (1) in order to develop methods for unequivocal asbestos identification using minute samples and also to determine defects responsible for the fibre structure in these minerals which often occur as large, we 11-developed single crystals.In order to do this, we have started by investigating clinoamphibole asbestos such as tremolite Ca2Mg5[Si8O22] (OH, F)2 and crocidolite Na2 (Mg, Al, Fe3+, Fe2+) (Si8O22) (OH, F )2 , from California localities. In crocidoli te - asbestos we observed a high density of very narrow microtwins parallel to the fibre axis [001] (Fig. 1). They are often only 50-100Å wide. Diffraction patterns display the typical twin arrangement of spots and although preliminary contrast experiments are not yet conclusive the twin plane appears to be (100).

The compounds Pr6(C2)Br10, Pr10(C2)2Br15 and Pr14(C2)3Br20 were prepared from PrBr3 and the appropriate amounts of Pr and C and characterized by X-ray structure analyses of single crystals. All three compounds crystallize in space group P1 with lattice parameters a = 7.571(2), b = 9.004(2), c = 9.062(2) Å ,α = 108.57(3), β = 97.77(3), γ = 106.28(3)◦ for Pr6(C2)Br10; a = 9.098(2), b = 10.127(2), c = 10.965(2) A° , α = 70.38(3), β = 66.31(3), γ = 70.84(3)◦ for Pr10(C2)2Br15; a = 9.054(2), b = 10.935(2), c = 13.352(3) Å , α = 86.27(3), β = 72.57(3), γ = 66.88(3)◦ for Pr14(C2)3Br20.
