Single-domain and pseudo-single-domain titanium-poor magnetite grains are present in silicic vitrophyre glass of an ash-flow tuff from western Nevada. Conventional transmission electron microscopy and analytical electron microscopy corroborate inferences, made solely from rock magnetic and remanence data, that the thermoremanent magnetization in the vitrophyre is carried by such grains. The magnetite grains vary in size, shape, and distribution throughout the glass. They probably crystal lized during violent eruption and welding of the ash flow, at temperatures well in excess of 600 °C.

This is the first utilization of advanced analytical electron microscopy methods, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping to characterize the organ-specific bioprocessing of a relatively inert nanomaterial (nanoceria). Liver and spleen samples from rats given a single intravenous infusion of nanoceria were obtained after prolonged (90 days) in vivo exposure. These advanced analytical electron microscopy methods were applied to elucidate the organ-specific cellular and subcellular fate of nanoceria after its uptake. Nanoceria is bioprocessed differently in the spleen than in the liver.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to study structures found in secondphase particles in commercial alumina compacts. Analytical electron microscopy has been used to identify elements present in the particles. Computer image simulation has been used for both the structural interpretation of high resolution images and predicting the effect which the presence of other elements would have on the observed structures.

ABSTRACTArrays of nanowires have attracted considerable recent attention due to their unique electronic and optical properties. While much effort has been directed at fabricating arrays and measuring their properties, much less has been done to characterize these materials. Understanding the structure and composition of the constituents in these arrays is crucial in order to control their properties. In this work, arrays with wire diameters from 35-90nm were fabricated by pressure injecting liquid bismuth into porous alumina templates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy (AEM) were used to characterize the arrays.

This volume comprises four articles on widely divergent topics and of equally divergent practicality. The first article, by P.E. Champness, is on the application of transmission electron microscopy to mineralogy; analytical electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy are discussed. If you are a mineralogist who is interested in the kinds of results these techniques can provide, or if you are an expert in transmission electron microscopy who wants to drum up business from the geology department in your institution, you will find useful information here.

Small additions of copper, <1 wt%, have a pronounced effect on the ageing response of Al-Mg-Si alloys. The object of the present investigation was to study the effect of additions of copper up to 0.5 wt% on the ageing response of a series of Al-Mg-Si alloys and to use high resolution analytical electron microscopy to determine the composition of the age hardening precipitates.The composition of the alloys investigated is given in Table 1. The alloys were heat treated in an argon atmosphere for 30m, water quenched and immediately aged either at 180°C for 15 h or given a duplex treatment of 180°C for 15 h followed by 350°C for 2 h2. The double-ageing treatment was similar to that carried out by Dumolt et al. Analyses of the precipitation were carried out with a HB 501 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope. X-ray peak integrals were converted into weight fractions using the ratio technique of Cliff and Lorimer.
