STUDI SCANNING ELEKTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM) UNTUK KARAKTERISASI PROSES OXIDASI PADUAN ZIRKONIUM. Studi analisis Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) telah dilakukan untuk mengkarakterisasi struktur mikro dan lapisan oksida paduan zirkonium, bahan yang prospektif digunakan sebagai material kelongsong bahan bakar reaktor nuklir generasi ke IV dan struktur reaktor fusi modern. Tujuan penelitian adalah guna mendapatkan informasi yang detil dan akurat yang diperlukan untuk mendukung analisis ketahanan korosi paduan zirkonium yang disebabkan oleh proses oksidasi suhu tinggi dengan menggunakan berbagai metode analisis pada SEM. Sampel uji yang digunakan adalah ingot paduan zirkonium ZrNbMoGe setelah tes oksidasi dalam Mass Suspension Balance (MSB) pada temperatur 500 dan 700 oC masing-masing selama 5 jam. Komposisi unsur dalam sampel paduan adalah 96,9 %Zr, 2,5 %Nb, 0,5 %Mo dan 0,1 %Ge. Pengujian SEM dilakukan dengan JEOL JSM-6510LA yang dilengkapi dengan perangkat Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) untuk analisis komposisi kimia. Metode Secondary Electron (SE) dan Backscattered Electron (BSE) dengan opsi Low-Vacuum dilakukan untuk mendapatkan kontras yang optimal. Hasil analisa menunjukan bahwa pada kedua sampel telah tumbuh lapisan oksida berupa ZrO2 dengan ketebalan maksimal 2.4 dan 3.5 mm untuk masing-masing temperatur 500 dan 700 oC. Gambar BSE telah menunjukan batas lapisan dengan jelas, tidak memberikan ruang untuk interpretasi ganda.

Secretion granules in the shell gland, isthmus, and albumin-secreting region of the hen oviduct were analyzed with WET-scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDX, a combination of wide-angle backscattered electron detector (BED) and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalyzer (EDX). Glutaraldehyde-fixed but unhydrated, unstained, and uncoated samples were analyzed; Ca was localized in all secretion granules in all three sections of the hen oviduct studied.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

In this work, we report on the observation of Nd1Ba6Cu3O10,5 (Nd163) phase of the NdBaCuO system in melt-textured Nd123 bulk samples grown from a mixture of Nd123 and Nd210 phase powders. The observation was performed with polarized light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive x-ray analyses. Images of the identified phase crystals show an aspect quite different from Nd422 crystals. Unexpectedly, Nd163 was individuated, even in “pure” Nd123 samples. Moreover, after long exposure to air, Nd163 disappeared completely in samples synthesized from powders containing Nd210. Thermogravimetry analyses of powders show that the stability of this phase in air is limited to temperatures higher than 900 °C, so Nd163 is unstable and highly reactive at room temperature. Moreover, an explanation of the observation of Nd163 in Nd210 free samples, based on the spontaneous formation of Nd163 phase in a Nd123 melt, is proposed.

Abstract The microstructures of an Al-Bi immiscible alloy and the corresponding composites containing TiC (1 wt.% and 2 wt.%) were explored for melt temperatures of 800 °C, 850 °C, and 900°C. It was demonstrated that serious coarsening and macrosegregation of Bi-rich minority phase particles occurred, which was slightly alleviated by increasing the melt temperature from 800 °C to 900 °C. By adding TiC particles, the coarsening and macrosegregation of Bi-rich minority phase particles were significantly impeded. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that TiC particles were located inside and on the surface of Bi-rich minority phase particles, exhibiting heterogeneous nucleation and self-assembly behaviour. By properly increasing the holding time of the melt, finer and more uniform Bi-rich minority phase particles were obtained.

Abstract:An innovative approach, combining field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis, is presented to investigate the degradation mechanisms affecting tannin-dyed wool. In fact, tannin-dyed textiles are more sensitive to degradation then those dyed with other dyestuffs, even in the same conservation conditions.FESEM-EDX was first used to study a set of 48 wool specimens (artificially aged) dyed with several raw materials and mordants, and prepared according to historical dyeing recipes. EDX analysis was performed on the surface of wool threads and on their cross-sections. In addition, in order to validate the model formulated by the analysis of reference materials, several samples collected from historical and archaeological textiles were subjected to FESEM-EDX analysis.FESEM-EDX investigations enabled us to reveal the correlation between elemental composition and morphological changes. In addition, aging processes were clarified by studying changes in the elemental composition of wool from the protective cuticle to the fiber core in cross-sections. Morphological and elemental analysis of wool specimens and of archaeological and historical textiles showed that the presence of tannins increases wool damage, primarily by causing a sulfur decrease and fiber oxidation.
