Plate 1. (A and B) Balanced (A) and restored (B) cross section A-A' extending from the eastern Great Valley westward to the Burning Spring anticline (Fig. 1). Total deformed length (274 km) and undeformed restored length (346 km) are measured from a pin line east of the extent of documented map-scale shortening on the Appalachian Plateau, resulting in 78 km (23%) total shortening. (C) As shown, shortening in Upper Devonian through Permian rocks assumes 10% layer-parallel shortening (LPS) in the Appalachian Plateau and across the Appalachian front (to thick vertical bar) and 25% LPS in the Valley and Ridge (region between thick vertical bars). Shortening in the Great Valley requires 35% LPS, compared to the >50% LPS measured in that region (Wright and Platt, 1982). Cross sections drawn with no vertical exaggeration; Circled numbers—duplex numbers; Fm–Formation; Gp—Group. Plate 2. Geologic cross section divided into 16 sequentially numbered intervals (circled numbers above the cross section) spanning from the western limb of the Burning Springs anticline eastward to the Great Valley. Locations of each of the 40 samples used to constrain grain-scale layer-parallel shortening (LPS) are shown as small white dots projected into the line of section; calculated LPS (as a percentage) are shown above each sample. Mean LPS values for each interval are summarized in Table 2. (A) Cross section constructed to minimize the amount of unit thickness variation in the Reedsville-Martinsburg Formations. Balancing this section requires 10% outcrop-scale shortening between the Elkins Valley anticline and the boundary between the Valley and Ridge and Great Valley. (B) Cross section constructed to minimize contributions from outcrop-scale shortening. Balancing this section requires 5% outcrop-scale shortening between the Elkins Valley anticline and the boundary between the Valley and Ridge and Great Valley. Cross sections drawn with no vertical exaggeration; circled numbers—duplex numbers; Fm—Formation; Gp—Group.

Direct thin strip casting is an economically end energetically smart process for the production of steel strip. In a single process step, liquid steel can be cast and directly rolled to hot strip in thicknesses ranging from one to four millimeters. With the use of specifically profiled casting rolls it is possible to produce strip with optimized cross-sections, allowing this process to compete with tailor welded and tailor rolled blanks for the production of a class of products already widely applied in industry. Numerical and experimental studies proved the feasibility of this concept and additional simulations were used to optimize the profile to be used for the experiments. A thickness variation of one millimeter from the edge to the center could be successfully achieved. However, the dimensional precision and the roughness distribution along the cross section of the produced strip were not satisfactory. Additional profiles were applied for the experimental analysis leading to better roughness distribution and geometrical accuracy. In order to further improve the uniformity of properties along the profiled section it is necessary to increase the homogeneity of the microstructure. The coating and surface preparation of the casting rolls play a very important role in the strip casting process as they strongly affect the solidification behavior. This observation lead to the idea of selectively coating the casting rolls, applying a less conductive layer on the areas where the casted profile is thinner. Thus, a more homogeneous solidification front can be obtained. The effect of a locally modified casting roll coating on the solidification is numerically investigated and the results applied for the selection of the coating parameters to be used for the experiments.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) crystals grow inside trioxane crystals which have been irradiated and heated to a temperature slightly below their melting point. Figure 1 shows a low magnification electron micrograph of a group of such POM crystals. Detailed examination at higher magnification showed that three distinct types of POM crystals grew in a typical sample. The three types of POM crystals were distinguished by the direction that the polymer chain axis in each crystal made with respect to the threefold axis of the trioxane crystal. These polyoxymethylene crystals were described previously.At low magnifications the three types of polymer crystals appeared as slender rods. One type had a hexagonal cross section and the other two types had rectangular cross sections, that is, they were ribbonlike.

Microanalysis by EELS has been developing rapidly and though the general form of the spectrum is now understood there is a need to put the technique on a more quantitative basis (1,2). Certain aspects important for microanalysis include: (i) accurate determination of the partial cross sections, σx(α,ΔE) for core excitation when scattering lies inside collection angle a and energy range ΔE above the edge, (ii) behavior of the background intensity due to excitation of less strongly bound electrons, necessary for extrapolation beneath the signal of interest, (iii) departures from the simple hydrogenic K-edge seen in L and M losses, effecting σx and complicating microanalysis. Such problems might be approached empirically but here we describe how computation can elucidate the spectrum shape.The inelastic cross section differential with respect to energy transfer E and momentum transfer q for electrons of energy E0 and velocity v can be written as

In electron energy loss spectroscopy, quantitative chemical microanalysis is performed by comparison of the intensity under a specific inner shell edge with the corresponding partial cross section. There are two commonly used models for calculations of atomic partial cross sections, the hydrogenic model and the Hartree-Slater model. Partial cross sections could also be measured from standards of known compositions. These partial cross sections are complicated by variations in the edge shapes, such as the near edge structure (ELNES) and extended fine structures (ELEXFS). The role of these solid state effects in the partial cross sections, and the transferability of the partial cross sections from material to material, has yet to be fully explored. In this work, we consider the oxygen K edge in several oxides as oxygen is present in many materials. Since the energy window of interest is in the range of 20-100 eV, we limit ourselves to the near edge structures.

Absolute inelastic scattering cross sections or mean free paths are often used in EELS analysis for determining elemental concentrations and specimen thickness. In most instances, theoretical values must be used because there have been few attempts to determine experimental scattering cross sections from solids under the conditions of interest to electron microscopist. In addition to providing data for spectral quantitation, absolute cross section measurements yields useful information on many of the approximations which are frequently involved in EELS analysis procedures. In this paper, experimental cross sections are presented for some inner-shell edges of Al, Cu, Ag and Au.Uniform thin films of the previously mentioned materials were prepared by vacuum evaporation onto microscope cover slips. The cover slips were weighed before and after evaporation to determine the mass thickness of the films. The estimated error in this method of determining mass thickness was ±7 x 107g/cm2. The films were floated off in water and mounted on Cu grids.

The ability to prepare a cross-section of a specific semiconductor structure for both SEM and TEM analysis is vital in characterizing the smaller, more complex devices that are now being designed and manufactured. In the past, a unique sample was prepared for either SEM or TEM analysis of a structure. In choosing to do SEM, valuable and unique information was lost to TEM analysis. An alternative, the SEM examination of thinned TEM samples, was frequently made difficult by topographical artifacts introduced by mechanical polishing and lengthy ion-milling. Thus, the need to produce a TEM sample from a unique,cross-sectioned SEM sample has produced this sample preparation technique.The technique is divided into an SEM and a TEM sample preparation phase. The first four steps in the SEM phase: bulk reduction, cleaning, gluing and trimming produces a reinforced sample with the area of interest in the center of the sample. This sample is then mounted on a special SEM stud. The stud is inserted into an L-shaped holder and this holder is attached to the Klepeis polisher (see figs. 1 and 2). An SEM cross-section of the sample is then prepared by mechanically polishing the sample to the area of interest using the Klepeis polisher. The polished cross-section is cleaned and the SEM stud with the attached sample, is removed from the L-shaped holder. The stud is then inserted into the ion-miller and the sample is briefly milled (less than 2 minutes) on the polished side. The sample on the stud may then be carbon coated and placed in the SEM for analysis.


The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.

Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.
