In this work, a deep characterization of the properties of K6Ta10.8O30 microrods has been performed. The starting material used to grow the microrods has been recovered from mining tailings coming from the Penouta Sn-Ta-Nb deposit, located in the north of Spain. The recovered material has been submitted to a thermal treatment to grow the microrods. Then, they have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman and micro-photoluminescence. The results of our study confirm that the K6Ta10.8O30 microrods have a tetragonal tungsten bronze-like crystal structure, which can be useful for ion-batteries and photocatalysis.

The purpose of this study is to identify the crystal structure of metastable phase in Ag added Al-Mg-Si alloy to compare the formation of β’-phases in Al-Mg-Si alloys without Ag, using images of high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns and an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The result of SAED patterns and HRTEM images have been simulated and compared with images then SAED patterns obtained from actual precipitates. SAED patterns and HRTEM images obtained from metastable phase in the Ag added Al-Mg-Si alloy showed similar to those of β’-phase in Al-Mg-Si alloy without Ag and the lattice spacings changed because of the effect of Ag.

Although a few X-ray crystal structures of normal-chain esters of long chain acids and short chain alcohols have been carried out, attention has been paid mostly to the long-spacings of waxes synthesized from longer chain alcohols. We have been interested in exploring the crystal structures of the more symmetric waxes via electron diffraction studies.Myristyl stearate thin crystals were epitaxially grown on benzoic acid by the method developed by Wittmann et al. Some samples with or without the presence of the nucleating substrates were annealed at 45°C for 4 hours on a Met tier FP82 hot stage. The thin crystals before or after annealing were examined with a JEOL JEM-100CX electron microscope operated at 100 kV, and selected area electron diffraction patterns from [100] and [110] directions were recorded on Kodak DEF-5 X-ray film. The calibration of the camera length was carried out with a gold Debye-Scherrer diagram. Models of molecular packing were scanned with an Optronics P-1000, and their Fourier transforms were calculated with a program in IMAGIC.

It is known that, over a composition range in a Nb2-O5-WO3 system, the crystal structure of compounds is composed of subcells with tetragonal tungsten bronze ( TIB ) type.) Different models have however been reported for some of them. The crystals are usually prepared in sealed tubes and sometimes show different colours due to a reduction in spite of a definite starting composition. Moreover, they frequently include small domains, which make the structure analysis by x-ray diffraction very difficult. In the present study we examine a series of these compounds, prepared under various conditions, by a super-high-resolution, high-voltage electron microscope ( Hitachi 1250 ),in which the lattice fringes of 2.0 Å in width can be resolved at an accelerating voltage of 1 MV under an axial illumination with equipping a specimen goniometer.2)Fig.l is a crystal structure image of 4Nb2O5.9WO3. According to electron diffractions the lattice parameters are a=12.3, b=36.6 and c=3.94 Å (orthorhombic).

In the investigation of the molecular organization of cell membranes it is often supposed that lipid molecules are arranged in a bimolecular film. X-ray diffraction data obtained in a direction perpendicular to the plane of suitably layered membrane systems have generally been interpreted in accord with such a model of the membrane structure. The present studies were begun in order to determine whether selected area electron diffraction would provide a tool of sufficient sensitivity to permit investigation of the degree of intermolecular order within lipid films. The ultimate objective would then be to apply the method to single fragments of cell membrane material in order to obtain data complementary to the transverse data obtainable by x-ray diffraction.

The technique of Electron Reduced Density Function (RDF) analysis has ben developed into a rapid analytical tool for the analysis of small volumes of amorphous or polycrystalline materials. The energy filtered electron diffraction pattern is collected to high scattering angles (currendy to s = 2 sinθ/λ = 6.5 Å-1) by scanning the selected area electron diffraction pattern across the entrance aperture to a GATAN parallel energy loss spectrometer. The diffraction pattern is then converted to a reduced density function, G(r), using mathematical procedures equivalent to those used in X-ray and neutron diffraction studies.Nearest neighbour distances accurate to 0.01 Å are obtained routinely, and bond distortions of molecules can be determined from the ratio of first to second nearest neighbour distances. The accuracy of coordination number determinations from polycrystalline monatomic materials (eg Pt) is high (5%). In amorphous systems (eg carbon, silicon) it is reasonable (10%), but in multi-element systems there are a number of problems to be overcome; to reduce the diffraction pattern to G(r), the approximation must be made that for all elements i,j in the system, fj(s) = Kji fi,(s) where Kji is independent of s.

By careful control of the electron beam it is possible to simultaneously induce and observe the phase transformation from monomer to polymer in certain solid-state polymcrizable diacetylenes. The continuous change in the crystal structure from DCHD diacetylene monomer (a=1.76 nm, b=1.36 nm, c=0.455 nm, γ=94 degrees, P2l/c) to polymer (a=1.74 nm, b=1.29 nm, c=0.49 nm, γ=108 degrees, P2l/c) occurs at a characteristic dose (10−4C/cm2) which is five orders of magnitude smaller than the critical end point dose (20 C/cm2). Previously we discussed the progress of this phase transition primarily as observed down the [001] zone (the chain axis direction). Here we report on the associated changes of the dark field (DF) images and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of the crystals as observed from the side (i.e., in the [hk0] zones).High resolution electron micrographs (HREM), DF images, and SAED patterns were obtained on a JEOL 4000 EX HREM operating at 400 kV.
