The scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) constructed by the authors employs a field emission gun and a 1.15 mm focal length magnetic lens to produce a probe on the specimen. The aperture size is chosen to allow one wavelength of spherical aberration at the edge of the objective aperture. Under these conditions the profile of the focused spot is expected to be similar to an Airy intensity distribution with the first zero at the same point but with a peak intensity 80 per cent of that which would be obtained If the lens had no aberration. This condition is attained when the half angle that the incident beam subtends at the specimen, 𝛂 = (4𝛌/Cs)¼

In recent years,instrumentation for electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been steadily improved to increase energy resolution and collection efficiency. At present 0.40eV at 10mR collection half angle is available with commercial magnetic sectors (e.g. Gatan, Inc. and VG Microscopes, Ltd.), and 70meV at 10mR has been demonstrated by use of a Wien filter within a large deceleration field. When these high resolution spectrometers are coupled to the modern small electron probe instrument, we obtain a tool which promises to reveal local changes in bandstructure and bonding near defects and interfaces in heterogeneous materials.Unfortunately, typical electron sources have intrinsic energy widths which limit attainable spectroscopic resolution in the absence of some monochromation system. For instance, the W thermal emitter has a half width of about 1eV.

A compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is a non-imaging device generally used in PV, thermal, or PV/thermal hybrid systems for the concentration of solar radiation on the target surface. This paper presents the geometric design, statistical modeling, parametric analysis, and geometric optimization of a two-dimensional low concentration symmetric compound parabolic concentrator for potential use in building-integrated and rooftop photovoltaic applications. The CPC was initially designed for a concentration ratio of “2×” and an acceptance half-angle of 30°. A MATLAB code was developed in house to provoke the CPC reflector’s profile. The height, aperture width, and concentration ratios were computed for different acceptance half-angles and receiver widths. The interdependence of optical concentration ratio and acceptance half-angle was demonstrated for a wide span of acceptance half-angles. The impact of the truncation ratio on the geometric parameters was investigated to identify the optimum truncation position. The profile of truncated CPC for different truncation positions was compared with full CPC. A detailed statistical analysis was performed to analyze the synergistic effects of independent design parameters on the responses using the response surface modeling approach. A set of optimized design parameters was obtained by establishing specified optimization criteria. A 50% truncated CPC with an acceptance half-angle of 21.58° and receiver width of 193.98 mm resulted in optimum geometric dimensions.

Closed-form direct and inverse kinematics of a new three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator with inextensible limbs and base-mounted actuators are presented. The manipulator has higher resolution and precision than the existing three-DOF mechanisms with extensible limbs. Since all of the manipulator actuators are base mounted, higher payload capacity, smaller actuator sizes, and lower power dissipation can be obtained. The manipulator is suitable for alignment applications where only tip, tilt, and piston motions are significant. The direct kinematics of the manipulator is reduced to solving an eighth-degree polynomial in the square of the tangent of the half-angle between one of the limbs and the base plane. Hence, there are at most 16 assembly configurations for the manipulator. In addition, it is shown that the 16 solutions are eight pairs of reflected configurations with respect to the base plane. Numerical examples for the direct and inverse kinematics of the manipulator are also presented.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ship wake images in light wind and calm sea conditions frequently appear in the form of a bright V with a half-angle of 2 to 3 deg. Sophisticated and conflicting explanations of this phenomenon, based on the Bragg scattering mechanism, have been proposed. There is a belief that the narrow V-wake is not a part of the Kelvin wake. An alternative approach, which is not generally accepted, suggests that short divergent Kelvin waves may contribute to the V-wake imaging although these waves are mixed with unsteady surface waves generated by the ship-induced turbulence. Ship-generated divergent waves contaminated by surfactants and their radar backscattering cross section are studied. The hull of the ship is represented by a single layer of hydrodynamic singularities. The Green function of a point source moving below a free surface covered by surfactants is derived. A closed-form asymptotic solution for the far ship wave wake is obtained. It is used to calculate analytically the corresponding radar backscattering cross section. The radiative, viscous, and surfactant-induced decay of the V-wake brightness along the V-arms is discussed. The theoretical results are compared against available experimental data.

Abstract This paper presents closed-form polynomial solutions to the displacement analysis problem of planar 10-link mechanisms with 1 degree-of-freedom (DOF). Using the successive elimination procedure presented herein, the input-output (I/O) polynomials as well as the number of assembly configurations for five mechanisms resulting from two 10-link kinematic chains are presented. It is shown that the displacement analysis problems for all five mechanisms can be reduced to a univariate polynomial devoid of any extraneous roots. This univariate polynomial corresponds to the I/O polynomial of the mechanism. In addition, one of the examples also illustrates how trigonometric manipulations in conjunction with tangent half-angle substitutions can lead to non-trivial extraneous roots in the solution process. Theoretical conditions for identifying and eliminating these extraneous roots are also presented.

As a crystal gets smaller, diffraction spots stay visible for larger deviations from the Bragg condition. The upper limit of such deviations is connected to the threshold for getting lattice fringes in TEM images. This in turn allows one to quantify the probability of seeing cross lattice fringes along a certain zone axis. In this abstract we examine a simple semi-empirical model for the probability of detecting (001) zone cross-fringes of a spherical crystal of cubic lattice.The upper limit for the deviation of crystal orientation from the exact Bragg condition, without losing cross fringes down a given zone, is expressed as the maximum half-angle θ1 between the zone and the electron beam. The solid angle σ subtended by a cone with this half-angle is proportional to the probability px that a randomly-oriented crystal will show the cross-fringes associated with that zone. A schematic, illustrating the principle used to calculate the probability of seeing cross-fringes, is given in Figure 1.
