The slip system of TiN at room temperature has been determined to be {110} 〈110〉 by Burgers vector analysis using transmission electron microscopy and slip trace analysis of indents made on a TiN(001) film deposited on a MgO(001) substrate. Both small indents (0.4 mN maximum load) and large indents (40 mN maximum load) were used to study the dislocation structure in TiN. The nucleation of dislocations was investigated using small indents. Further development of the plastic zone was studied using large indents and microhardness indents (1.6 N). The critical resolved shear stress evaluated at the load when pop-in occurs was estimated to be 3.7 GPa, assuming a Hertzian elastic contact. Indents made with a 0.4 mN maximum load show a complex dislocation pattern with loops and straight segments that belong to the same slip system. Dislocations of mixed screw and edge type are dominant. The cascade of dislocations generated during pop-in is likely to nucleate from loops. For larger indents, the plastic zone extends more than three times the diameter of the imprint. The straight dislocations outside the large imprint are arranged in arrays along the 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 directions. A scanning force microscopy study of the surface outside a microhardness indent revealed a raised surface along 〈110〉 and formation of troughs along 〈100〉.

AbstractBacterio-rhodopsin purple membrane (PM) thin films have been prepared by selfassembling (SA) technique. Morphological properties of the layers were inspected by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM) highlighting the presence of densely packed PM films. Reflectance Uv-vis spectra on these films revealed the typical bR absorption at 570 nm. By using a tungsten lamp illuminations (250-350 mW) chopped at 0.5Hz, photoelectric responses were detected. Differential (light-on and light-off) photocurrent signals of up to 1 μA/cm2 were obtained upon light exposure.

ABSTRACT Thiol-ene modification of high vinyl content thermoplastic elastomeric styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) block copolymer (BCP) was carried out using different thiolating agents in toluene at 70 °C. 1H NMR analysis confirmed the participation of vinyl double bond in the thiol-ene modification reaction of SBS. Surface morphology of the block copolymers evaluated by atomic force microscopy analysis showed higher roughness after the thiol-ene reaction. The thiol-modified SBS block copolymer showed better adhesion strength and oil resistance properties than the pristine SBS.

This paper presents domain and structure studies of bonded magnets made from nanocrystalline Nd-(Fe, Co)-B powder. The structure studies were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. On the basis of performed qualitative and quantitative phase composition studies, it was found that investigated alloy was mainly composed of Nd2(Fe-Co)14B hard magnetic phase (98 vol%) and a small amount of Nd1.1Fe4B4 paramagnetic phase (2 vol%). The best fit of grain size distribution was achieved for the lognormal function. The mean grain size determined from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images on the basis of grain size distribution and diffraction pattern using the Bragg equation was about ≈130 nm. HRTEM images showed that over-stoichiometric Nd was mainly distributed on the grain boundaries as a thin amorphous border of 2 nm in width. The domain structure was investigated using a scanning electron microscope and metallographic light microscope, respectively, by Bitter and Kerr methods, and by magnetic force microscopy. Domain structure studies revealed that the observed domain structure had a labyrinth shape, which is typically observed in magnets, where strong exchange interactions between grains are present. The analysis of the domain structure in different states of magnetization revealed the dynamics of the reversal magnetization process.
