Materials research, biomedical research, and semiconductor manufacturing can all benefit from nondestructive, high-resolution methods of analysis. As most materials are heterogeneous, it is important to not only acquire high resolution topographic information, but also to identify the chemical composition of samples. A combination of high resolution microscopy with chemically sensitive spectroscopy combined in one instrument allows the detailed characterization of samples with different analytical techniques. When individual instruments are used, returning to a previously surveyed sample area can be very time consuming if not impossible without surface markers.

AbstractHigh resolution electron microscopy (HREM) is a powerful tool in materials research. This is especially true in the study of zeolites because most of the questions concerning the properties of zeolites require a detailed characterization of the local structure [1]. The potential of HREM is illustrated with studies on the growth of denser phases on Zeolite Y and Zeolite L.

AbstractISHTAR (Internal Structure High-resolution Tomography by Asteroid Rendezvous) is a mission developed through ESA General Studies programme. The study, led by Astrium in cooperation with several scientific institutes throughout Europe, has produced a spacecraft design capable of performing multiple asteroid rendezvous and to characterize them with a focussed set of instruments. The ISHTAR concept is centred around a Radar Tomography paylod able to probe the internal structure of a small asteroid to depths of few hundred meters, combined with a small camera for investigation of the surface properties and a radio science experiment for gravity field measurement. This combination will allow the first detailed characterization of a NEO and will give valuable insights into the origin and evolution processes that govern the NEO population. In particular, ISHTAR will be able to visit at least 2 NEOs belonging to two different spectral classes, thereby allowing us to probe the diversity of the NEO population.

The A 1(3Π) state of IBr is observed in a free-jet expansion of IBr in Ar, following photolysis with ArF laser irradiation. Laser excitation spectra are obtained for the β 1(3P2) ← A transition in medium (0.5 cm−1) and high (0.08 cm−1) resolution. Sixteen ν′–ν″ bands recorded in high resolution are rotationally analyzed, providing the first detailed characterization of the lowest three νlevels in the A state. An additional ~50 bandheads in the ν″ = 0 and 1 progressions are recorded for both I79Br and I81Br. The new data, which sample ν′ levels in the range 31–71, are combined with existing information for low ν in the β state to provide improved constants for the β state. These results are merged with least-squares parameters from a detailed reanalysis of existing data for the A and X(1Σ+) states to yield spectroscopic parameters valid for ν = 0–20 in the X state and ν = 0–26 in the A state. Among these results are the first precise estimates of the equilibrium parameters in the A state: Te = 12 369.68 (14) cm−1, ωe = 134.22 (13) cm−1, Be = 0.042 40 (5) cm−1, Re = 2.8583 (16) Å.

We describe the implementation and detailed characterization of a laser-triggered field-emitter electron source integrated into a modified transmission electron microscope. Highly coherent electron pulses enable high resolution ultrafast electron imaging and diffraction.
