In this work, we present a detailed structural characterization of the defects formed after 0.5 keV B+ implantation into Si to a dose of 1x1015 ions/cm2 and annealed at 650°C and 750°C during different times up to 160 s. The clusters were characterized by making use of Weak Beam and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) imaging. They are found to be platelets of several nanometer size with (001) habit plane. Conventional TEM procedure based on defect contrast behavior was applied to determine the directions of their Burger’s vectors. Geometric Phase Analysis of HRTEM images was used to measure the displacement field around these objects and, thus, to unambiguously determine their Burger’s vectors. Finally five types of dislocation loops lying on (001) plane are marked out: with ] 001 [1/3 ≅ b and b ∝ [1 0 1], [-1 0 1], [0 1 1], [0 -1 1].

AbstractLow energy electron diffraction is a surface sensitive tool which is most widely used for the determination of surface symmetries and equilibrium atomic positions. Experimental and theoretical advances made in the past five years make it possible now to use LEED also for the characterization of a wide variety of surface defect structures. In this paper a variety of experimental results involving analysis of diffracted electron beam shapes as a function of primary electron beam energy, adsorbate coverage, crystal tem-perature and ordering time are presented. These experimental results coupled with kinematic theory, allow the determination of step density, size and shape of reconstruction domains and overlayer islands, island size distribution in an overlayer during growth, and the mode of growth.

ABSTRACTInterphase interfaces in the directionally solidified eutectics.(DSEs) of NiO-ZrO2(CaO), NiO-Y2O3 and MnO-ZrO2 have been investigated using a variety of TEM techniques. The unique lamellar morphology of the DSEs allows characterization of interfaces and identification of relaxations along multiple directions, aiding visualization of interface structure in three dimensions. Possible low energy interface orientations were identified through examination of facets. The low energy interface planes almost invariably correspond to polar surfaces of adjacent crystals. An attempt has been made to experimentally identify the variety of interfacial relaxation mechanisms using a variety of analytical TEM techniques and only HRTEM results are summarized in this paper. It was found that most of the DSE systems exhibit very little relaxation and possess tight interface cores.

At present the only surface electron microscope which allows true characteristic XPEEM (photoemission electron microscopy using synchrotron radiation) and structural characterization is the spectroscopic LEEM developed at the Technical University Clausthal in the early nineties. This instrument has in the past been used mainly for LEEM studies of various surface and thin film phenomena, because it had very limited access to synchrotron radiation. Now the microscope is connected quasipermanently to the undulator beamline 6.2 at the storage ring ELETTRA, operating successfully since the end of 1996 under the name SPELEEM (Spectroscopic PhotoEmission and Low Energy Electron Microscope). The high brightness of the ELETTRA light source, together with an optimized instrument, results in a spatial resolution better than 25 nm and an energy resolution better than 0.5 eV in the XPEEM mode. The instrument can be used alternately for XPEEM, LEEM, LEED (low energy electron diffraction), MEM (mirror electron microscopy) and other imaging modes, depending upon the particular problem studied. The combination of these imaging modes allows a comprehensive characterization of the specimen. This is of particular importance when the chemical identification of structurar features is necessary for the understanding of a surface or thin film process. In addition, PED (photoelectron diffraction) and VPEAD (valence photoelectron angular distribution) of small selected areas give local atomic configuration and band structure information, respectively.

The study explores the nitty-gritty of infrared spectroscopy. Firstly, the review gives a concise history of infrared discovery and its location in the electromagnetic spectrum. Secondly, the infrared spectroscopy is reported for its mechanism, principles, sample preparation, and application for absence and presence of functional groups determination in both ligands and coordination compounds. Thirdly, it helps in purity determination of unknown samples. Additional studies regarding this study entail infrared spectroscopy-based synchrotron radiation. It serves as a giant microscope to give detailed information of samples under investigation compared to the conventional infrared instrument. Infrared will continue to be useful to both chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in order to make chemical products and manufactured drugs put on wholesome integrity.

Synchrotron radiation is the most versatile way to explore biological materials in different states: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, solution, colloids and multiscale architectures. Steady improvements in instrumentation have made synchrotrons the most flexible intense X-ray source. The wide range of applications of synchrotron radiation is commensurate with the structural diversity and complexity of the molecules and macromolecules that form the collection of substrates investigated by glycoscience. The present review illustrates how synchrotron-based experiments have contributed to our understanding in the field of structural glycobiology. Structural characterization of protein–carbohydrate interactions of the families of most glycan-interacting proteins (including glycosyl transferases and hydrolases, lectins, antibodies and GAG-binding proteins) are presented. Examples concerned with glycolipids and colloids are also covered as well as some dealing with the structures and multiscale architectures of polysaccharides. Insights into the kinetics of catalytic events observed in the crystalline state are also presented as well as some aspects of structure determination of protein in solution.

AbstractWe consider Schrödinger operators on noncompact star-shaped graphs. The following topics will be treated under suitable decay conditions on the potential: characterization of the set of eigenvalues and expression of each eigen-projection; low-energy behavior of the resolvent, spectral representations of the operator restricted on infinite rays; determination of the Marchenko equations and the inverse scattering problems.

Corrosion of reinforcement is an important durability concern for the structures exposed to coastal regions. Since corrosion of reinforcement involves long periods of time, impressed current technique is usually used to accelerate the corrosion of reinforcement in laboratories. Characterization of impressed current technique was the main focus of this research,which involved determination of optimum chloride content and minimum immersion time of specimens for which the application of Faraday’s law could be efficient. To obtain optimum chloride content, the electrolytes in the corrosion cell were prepared similar to that of concrete pore solutions. Concrete prisms of 200 mm by 200 mm by 300 mm were used to determine the minimum immersion time for saturation. It was found that the optimum chloride content was 35 gm/L and the minimum immersion time for saturation was 140 hours. Accounting the results, a modified expression based on Faraday’s law was proposed to calculate weight loss due to corrosion. Journal of Engineering Science 11(1), 2020, 93-99

Eternal return is the paradox that accounts for the interplay between difference and repetition, a dynamic at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy, and Blanchot's approach to this paradox, even and especially through what it elides, further illuminates it. Deleuze draws on Blanchot's characterisations of difference, forgetting, and the unlivable to depict the ‘sense’ produced via eternal return, which, for Blanchot, is where repetition implicates or ‘carries’ pure difference. However, for Deleuze, difference and the unlivable are also developed by the living repetition or ‘contraction’ of habit, which results in his distinctive characterization of ‘force’, ‘levity’, and sense in eternal return.
