Short-range and long-range ordering of defects in wüstite (Fe1-xO) have been studied using electron diffraction and high-resolution structure imaging in TEM. Single crystals of high purity were grown by a floating zone technique, sectioned and equilibrated in CO/CO2 atmospheres between 1175 K and 1625 K to obtain a series of compositions across the wüstite phase field from Fe0.9 5O (Fe/FeO phase boundary) to Fe0.8 7O (Fe/Fe3O4, phase boundary). Equilibrated specimens were quenched, in some cases subsequently annealed between 475 K and 575 K, and reduced to electron transparency by mechanical polishing and ion-beam thinning.

AbstractA method for soaking ligands into protein microcrystals on TEM grids is presented. Every crystal on the grid is soaked simultaneously using only standard cryoEM vitrification equipment. The method is demonstrated using proteinase K microcrystals soaked with the 5-amino-2,4,6-triodoisophthalic acid (I3C) magic triangle. A soaked microcrystal is milled to a thickness of 200nm using a focused ion-beam, and microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) data are collected. A high-resolution structure of the protein with four ligands at high occupancy is determined. Compared to much larger crystals investigated by X-ray crystallography, both the number of ligands bound and their occupancy was higher in MicroED. These results indicate that soaking ligands into microcrystals in this way results in a more efficient uptake than in larger crystals that are typically used in drug discovery pipelines by X-ray crystallography.
