AbstractWe developed a new micro manipulator for mounting individual sub-micrometer sized single crystals within a scanning electron microscope. The translations are realized via a commercially available piezomicroscope, adapted for high vacuum usage and realize nanometer resolution. With this novel instrument it is routinely possible to mount individual single crystals with sizes down to 0.1

The ferroelectric properties of guanidine aluminium sulphate hexahydrate (G.A.S.H.) were discovered in 1955 (1). The polar axis was found to be perpendicular to the natural cleavage plane. The domain structure of G.A.S.H. have been observed by Pearson and Feldman (2) by pulver technique, Yuri at al. (3) by electroluminescence and B. Hilczer at al. (4-5) by electron microscope decoration techniqueWe study domain structure in G.A.S.H. single crystals whithout metallization with a scanning electron microscope (S.E.M.). Figure 1 shows the observations obtained on a no etched crystal observed with a scanning electron microscope in the secondary electron emission mode; we see a domain. When the accelerating voltage Vacc of the incident beam pass from 2.3 KV. to 5 KV. the contrast between domains is inversed. At 3.5 KV. the contrast is the same that at 5 KV. but the domain wall is more precise. The inversion of contrast is obtained between 3.3 KV. and 3.4 KV. ; and in this inversion zone we have not any contrast due to the domain or to its boundary.

We have achieved the first successful growth of 2H-SiC single crystals using the C-Li-Si melt system. Li-Si melt, whose melting point is lower than 1000 oC, was chosen because the 2H-SiC polytype is more stable at lower temperatures than other polytypes such as 3C-, 4H-, and 6H-SiC. Many hexagonal-shaped crystals of approximately 100 m in diameter were observed via a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) lattice image of the grown crystals showed a periodical structure with A-B stacking along the <0001> direction. These results indicated that the Li-based flux was useful for growing bulk 2H-SiC single crystals.

The process of chip formation in copper and aluminum single crystals has been examined with a scanning electron microscope. The morphology of the shear planes clearly illustrates that the actual deformation zone (layer or shear front) is an extremely thin and well-defined band of slip planes wherein the predominant deformation takes place. The appearance of the top or upper surface of the chip corresponds to the micro mechanisms operating during the process of machining.
