We studied the evolution of the electrical activation with annealing temperature and time in 4H-SiC implanted with Al ions at room temperature (RT). An accurate comparison between the electrical activation data obtained by FPP and SCM was carried out. The dependence of the electrically active profiles on annealing time was studied during isothermal (Tann=1600 °C) annealings for times ranging from 0 (spike anneal) to 30 min. By performing isochronal (t=30 min) processes at temperatures from 1550 to 1650 °C, the effect of the annealing temperature on the net doping concentration profiles was studied. Moreover, the activation energy (6.30.3 eV) associated to the process was extracted from the Arrhenius plot of the net active dose. Finally, the effect of the different thermal budgets on the roughening of the Al implanted 4H-SiC surface was also investigated in details by atomic force microscopy.

AbstractSingle and multicomponent membrane-mimetic surfaces of DPPC and synthetic lipid-peptide conjugates were formed on an alkylated glass surface by a process of vesicle fusion. Correlative atomic force microscopy and radiochemical titration techniques confirmed the generation of a single substrate supported monolayer and predictable deposition of defined concentrations of lipopeptide. Mixed systems were stable for periods exceeding 1 month if stored at room temperature in phosphate buffered saline.

In this work, we report the synthesis of a monoclinic hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] (hereafter called HA) prepared by the sol-gel method assisted by ultrasound radiation at room temperature. The characterization of both the monoclinic and the hexagonal phases were performed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and using synchrotron radiation (SR). The measurement of the piezoelectricity was performed by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). The synthesis produced a mixture of monoclinic and hexagonal hydroxyapatite (HA). We also discuss the importance of stabilizing the monoclinic phase at room temperature with ultrasound irradiation. The existence of the monoclinic phase has important advantages in terms of showing piezoelectric properties for applications in the new medical rehabilitation therapies. Rietveld refinement of the PXRD data from SR indicated the monoclinic phase to be of about 81%. Finally, piezoelectric force microscopy was used to distinguish the phases of hydroxyapatite by measuring the average piezoelectric coefficient deff = 10.8 pm/V.

Recently, the biosynthesis of nanoparticles from bacteria have attracted attention, this study has been made for biosynthesize and characterizes silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from local clinical isolate Pantoea agglomerans. The ability of those particles to inhibit the virulence factors biofilm and hemolysin produced by some local clinical multidrug-resistant human pathogenes including Acinetobactor haemolyticus, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus were investigated by treating all of the test isolates with sub-MIC(16 mg/ml) AgNPs. The AgNPs produced were characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Pantoea agglomerans were found to have the ability to synthesize AgNPs at room temperature within 24hrs and were spherical in shape as depicted by AFM. The AgNPs produced exhibited a potential antibiofilm and hemolysin inhibition activities against tested pathogens.

In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots (QDs) stacked structure were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM), high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) characterization. Evolution in the dots size and dots density in the stacked structures is strongly influenced by the dot formation in the under-layer and the structure of the spacer layers. AFM results revealed that the dots formation on the top can be changed by increasing the number of stacked QDs. However, the dots formation is not vertically aligned since HR-XRD measurement gave different satellite peak on n-stacked QD structures. Room-temperature PL measurements show variation in the PL spectra, where blue-shifted PL peak positions are observed when the number of stack is increased. Variation in the HR-XRD and PL measurement is also attributed to the size, composition and density of the dots in the stacked structures.
