The interest in magnesium and its alloys considerably increases in recent years. These materials have a unique complex of properties: light-weight and strength make magnesium alloys promising structural materials for the aircraft industry and space application, and ability to reabsorb in vivo conditions and good biocompatibility allow producing biodegradable surgical implants of magnesium alloys, which can resorb in a human body without detriment to health. The materials for such demanding applications require detailed investigation of their properties, such as corrosion, including the kinetics of corrosion rate and staging of corrosion damage on the surface. To obtain a full view of the corrosion process, in addition to common ex-situ methods such as the corrosion rate evaluating using the weight loss method and the morphology corrosion damage investigation by optical or confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), it is important to use modern in-situ methods. In-situ methods allow obtaining data immediately during the experiment and not after its completion. The authors carried out a comprehensive study of the corrosion process of the commercial ZK60 and AZ31 magnesium alloys in the simulated human-body environment (temperature, corrosion media composition, circulation of corrosion media) using in-situ methods, including hydrogen evolution corrosion rate evaluating and video-observation of a sample surface. The results show that AZ31 alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ZK60 alloy. Moreover, AZ31 alloy is prone to filiform surface corrosion, and ZK60 alloy exhibits severe pitting corrosion. Based on the comparison of the data obtained by in-situ and ex-situ methods, the authors concluded on their main differences and features.

The experience of predesign inspection of the territory put under impact of future open pit is observed in the article. Geobotanical researches were carried out and populations of two plant species included in the Red Book of the Kemerovo region were found: Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer and Epipactis helleborine (L.) Grantz. Conservation of G. uralensis was carried out by “in situ” method – by transfer on other natural habitat. Individuals of E. helleborine were transferred at the territory of the Kuzbass botanical garden. Two years' observations of populations’ condition have shown successful growth of all individuals. These methods of conservation of rare plant populations are recommended by Project of UNDP-GEF for implementation at the industrial enterprises.

AbstractComparisons between the wetting characteristics of (0001)si 6H-SiC and (111) Si surfaces in various acids and bases were made. It was found that 10:1 HF dipped Si (111) surfaces were hydrophobic where as the (0001)si 6H-SiC surfaces were hydrophilic. (0001)si 6H-SiC surfaces capped with a 20Å Si layer, however, were hydrophobic after HF dipping and exhibited outgassing levels on annealing which were several orders of magnitude lower than SiC wafers dipped in HF without the capping layer. Annealing the Si capped (0001)si 6H-SiC surfaces in UHV at 1100°C for 5 min. was found to be sufficient to thermally desorb the Si capping layer and produce a (3×3) Si rich, oxygen free (0001)si 6H-SiC surface.

At the Diamond Light Source, adaptive bimorph mirrors are extensively used to focus synchrotron light. Piezo crystals embedded in each bimorph mirror expand or contract in response to applied voltages, enabling the curvature of the reflecting surface to adapt to the required form. However, high-grade metrology tools are needed to determine the optimal voltages. The Diamond Optics & Metrology group have implemented in situ (on the beamlines) and ex situ (in a metrology lab) methods of characterizing optical surfaces. For ex situ tests, a slope-measuring profiler (the Diamond-NOM (Nanometre Optical Metrology)) is employed. In situ, X-ray pencil beam scans, performed using an X-ray sensitive camera and software designed in-house, are used to correct optical slope errors. Ex situ and in situ data are shown to be in good agreement. Examples of in situ improvements in the focusing quality and deliberate defocusing are shown. The methods developed are also applicable to many other forms of adaptive optics.

Abstract It is known that diamond-like carbon layers consist of carbon components with sp ^2 (graphite) and sp ^3 (diamond) hybridizations of electron orbitals. The quantitative ratio between sp ^2 and sp ^3 components has a profound effect on the structural, morphological, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of the films. In this study, the possibility of controlling the fractions of sp ^2- and sp ^3-hybridized carbon in diamond-like films produced by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition onto single-crystal silicon and diamond substrates is analyzed. In-situ methods of controlling the fraction of the sp ^3 component by varying the power of the capacitive and inductively coupled discharges directly during production of the film and ex-situ methods, in which use is made of thermal annealing and the application of an electric field, are demonstrated.

ABSTRACTExposure to numerous acids and bases and UV/O3 oxidation were used to determine the best ex situ cleaning techniques for the (0001) surfaces of AIN and GaN. HF and HCI were the most effective in removing the oxide from AIN and GaN, respectively. However, AES and XPS revealed the surfaces to be terminated with F and CI which inhibited re-oxidation prior to loading into vacuum. TPD showed mat temperatures of 650 and 850°C are necessary to thermally desorb the CI and F, respectively. UV/O3 oxidation in air was not effective in removing hydrocarbons from either surface but was effective for oxide growth. In situ remote hydrogen plasma exposure at 450°C removed halogens and hydrocarbons remaining after ex situ cleaning of both AIN and GaN surfaces; however, oxide free surfaces could not be achieved. Thermal desorption of hydrocarbons from GaN in UHV was achieved at 650°C. Complete thermal desorption of the surface oxide in UHV was only achieved at temperatures > 800°C where some GaN decomposition occurred. Annealing GaN in NH3 at 700°C reduced the surface oxide without loss of surface stoichiometry.

The cobalt disilicide/silicon system has potential applications as a metal-base and as a permeable-base transistor. Although thin, low defect density, films of CoSi2 on Si(111) have been successfully grown, there are reasons to believe that Si(100)/CoSi2 may be better suited to the transmission of electrons at the silicon/silicide interface than Si(111)/CoSi2. A TEM study of the formation of CoSi2 on Si(100) is therefore being conducted. We have previously reported TEM observations on Si(111)/CoSi2 grown both in situ, in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) TEM and ex situ, in a conventional Molecular Beam Epitaxy system.The procedures used for the MBE growth have been described elsewhere. In situ experiments were performed in a JEOL 200CX electron microscope, extensively modified to give a vacuum of better than 10-9 T in the specimen region and the capacity to do in situ sample heating and deposition. Cobalt was deposited onto clean Si(100) samples by thermal evaporation from cobalt-coated Ta filaments.
