In the basal planes of the orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O7-X compound with x=0.07, which has a Tc of around 90K, chains of copper-oxygen are formed along the [010] direction. Previous investigations on the variation of Tc with oxygen content have shown the existence of a plateau at Tc = 60K for x=0.3 to 0.4, suggesting the presence of a separate phase. This phase has also been identified to be orthorhombic, but with a 2x superlattice along [100] of the parent structure, and the superlattice has been attributed to the formation of alternating copper-oxygen and copper-vacancy chains. In our work, we have studied the chain ordering phenomenon by electron microscopy and neutron diffraction on samples with different oxygen contents. We report here some of our electron microscopy findings for samples with x=0.4.Powder samples of YBa2Cu3O7-X were prepared by controlled re-oxidation of previously reduced material. For electron microscopy, the sample was dry ground using a mortar and pestle in a dry nitrogen atmosphere without the use of any solvent and transferred dry onto holey carbon film for examination in a Philips CM12 microscope.

Under loading above the Ae3 temperature, austenite transforms displacively into Widmanstätten ferrite. Here the driving force for transformation is the net softening during the phase change while the obstacle consists of the free energy difference between austenite and ferrite as well as the work of shear accommodation and dilatation during the transformation. Once the driving force is higher than the obstacle, phase transformation occurs. This phenomenon was explored here by means of the optical and electron microscopy of a C-Mn steel deformed above their transformation temperatures. Strain-temperature-transformation (STT) curves are presented that accurately quantify the amount of dynamically formed ferrite; the kinetics of retransformation are also specified in the form of appropriate TTRT diagrams. This technique can be used to improve the models for transformation on accelerated cooling in strip and plate rolling.

This paper presents the characteristics, morphology, and properties of alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles, in which polyphenols were extracted from Camellia chrysantha leaves collected in Tam Dao district, Vinh Phuc province (Vietnam). The alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method at different polyphenol content. The characteristics and morphology of these nanoparticles were investigated using infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Release kinetic of polyphenols from the alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles was conducted in simulated human body fluids. The release kinetics of polyphenols from the above nanoparticles were also evaluated and discussed. The experimental results showed that the release process of polyphenols from the nanoparticles was dependent on three factors: time, pH of solution, and amount of polyphenols.

Powded CxNy coatings were deposited from acetonitrile on Ni, Si, and C surfaces at a voltage 500-2000 V by the electrochemical method. Electrolysis products were analyzed by IR spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis and electron microscopy. According to FTIR data, at frequencies 1370 and 1530 cm-1, absorption bands characteristic for stretching C-N and C=N oscillations are observed. The obtained results indicate that the deposition process occurs in a different manner in each specific case, i.e., the kinetics of the electrode depends on the electrode material (Ni, Si, and C).
