Using several types of surface analysis (Optical profilometers (OP), Atomic Force Microscopies (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopies (SEM) and cross-sectional high-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopies (TEM)) we analyze the surface morphologies of misoriented 4H silicon carbide after pre-growth hydrogen etching and homo-epitaxial growths. We observed the characteristic self-ordering of nano-facets on any analyzed surface. This nano-faceting, which should not be confused with step bunching, can be considered as a close-to-equilibrium instability, for this reason can be hindered.

A new di-block acrylate copolymer with a Copper-Phthalocyanine (CuPc) core has been synthesized via a multi-step reaction scheme involving the atom-transfer radical polymerization. This material displayed amphiphilic character and consists of a CuPc core with eight copolymer arms. This new amphiphilic material and related intermediates have been characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. A preliminary study involving self-assembly properties of this material by optical, atomic force and scanning electron microscopies is presented.

This study examined and compared surface of human dentine after acidic etching with hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid liquid and gel. Surface demineralization of dentin is necessary for a strong bond of adhesive at dental surface. Split human teeth were used. After application of mentioned substances at dentin level measures of the contact angle and surface morphology were employed. Surface morphology was analyzed with the help of scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Liquid phosphoric acid yielded highest demineralization showing better hydrophobicity than the rest, thus having more contact surface. Surface roughness are less evident and formed surface micropores of 4 �m remained open after wash and air dry providing better adhesive canalicular penetration and subsequent bond.

In this work, a mechanically durable anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating is developed using a nanocomposite coating solution composed of silica nanoparticles and epoxy resin. The nanocomposite coating developed was tested for its superhydrophobic behavior using goniometry; surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; elemental composition using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; corrosion resistance using atomic force microscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating possesses hierarchical micro/nanostructures, according to the scanning electron microscopy images, and the presence of such structures was further confirmed by the atomic force microscopy images. The developed nanocomposite coating was found to be highly superhydrophobic as well as corrosion resistant, according to the results from static contact angle measurement and potentiodynamic polarization measurement, respectively. The abrasion resistance and mechanical durability of the nanocomposite coating were studied by abrasion tests, and the mechanical properties such as reduced modulus and Berkovich hardness were evaluated with the aid of nanoindentation tests.

ABSTRACTThis paper described observation of cathodoluminescence (CL) of microcrystalline InGaN bulk crystals under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a high-spatial-resolution (HR) CL measuring apparatus. HR-CL spectra from facets of InGaN crystals vary from facet to facet and are single peaked. Histogram analysis of the CL peak positions of HR spectra from the facets of the crystals in the area scanned during a low-resolution CL measurement shows a two-peaked form with comparable peak wavelengths. The diffusion length of a generated electron- ho le pair or an exciton from the recombination centers with a higher-energy-level state to that with a lower state is estimated to be 500 nm at the longest by the comparison of two monochromatic HR-CL images of adjoining facets.
