AbstractWith ab initio calculations we show that the experimentally observed large segregation energies of As at Si grain boundaries can be explained by the formation of isolated dimers or ordered chains of dimers of threefold-coordinated As along the cores of grain boundary dislocations. We also find the intriguing possibility that As segregation may drive structural transformation of certain grain boundaries. Recently we have obtained the first atomic-resolution STEM images of As in a Si grain boundary, consistent with the formation of As dimers. Segregation energy of As dimers was found to be significantly higher in isolated dislocation cores, where larger site-variation in strain than in grain boundaries lead to further lowering of the electronic levels of As deep into the bandgap.

The suggested precursor-product relationship between the nuclear pre-mRNA and the cytoplasmic mRNA has created increased interest also in the structure of these RNA species. Previously we have been published electron micrographs of individual pre-mRNA molecules from erythroid cells. An intersting observation was the appearance of a contour, probably corresponding to higher ordered structures, on one end of 10 % of the pre-mRNA molecules from erythroid rabbit bone marrow cells (Fig. 1A). A virtual similar contour was observed in molecules of 9S globin mRNA from rabbit reticulocytes (Fig. 1B). A structural transformation in a linear contour occurs if the RNA is heated for 10 min to 90°C in the presence of 80 % formamide. This structural transformation is reversible when the denatured RNA is precipitated and redissolved in 0.2 M ammonium acetate.
