In the present paper processes of sputtering and surface modification of commercial and experimental FeCrAl composites alloyed with yttrium, molybdenum and zirconium were investigated. Using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, it was shown that under the influence of low-energy (500 eV) hydrogen plasma with a flux about 3.2 ⋅ 1020 m–2 ⋅ s–1 and fluence 4 ⋅ 1024 m–2 at Troom, surface morphology develops due to the formation of grooves along grain boundaries, macro- and microcracks, as well as intragranular pits due to the sputtering of precipitates. Determination of the composition of precipitates by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer allowed to establish that aluminum oxide is preferentially distributed in the grains of FeCrAl-based alloys, and yttrium oxides are localized along grain boundaries. Results of erosion studies indicated that the sputtering yields for hydrogen on all alloys are 1.05– 0.38 at./ion and doesn’t exceed those for published data for pure iron and chromium. For experimental alloys doped with yttrium and molybdenum found that the obtained sputtering coefficients were in several times lower than for steel SS304 and only one and a half times higher compared to tungsten.

Processes of sputtering and surface modification of FeCrAl coatings deposited on steel by vacuum arc was studied under the influence of low-energy (500 eV) deuterium plasma with fluence (4⋅1024) D+/m2 at room temperature. It was determined the composition of coatings by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer allowed to establish that the elements in the coatings are distributed more evenly when it coated in a nitrogen atmosphere. Results of erosion studies indicated that the sputtering yields for deuterium on coatings are 1.3…0.45 at./ion and at least two-three times less in comparison with initial alloys and published data for pure iron and chromium. For coatings deposited in a nitrogen atmosphere found that the obtained sputtering coefficients are almost an order of magnitude smaller in comparison with published data for pure iron and chromium and only 1.8 times higher compared to tungsten.

Analysis of the constituents of renal and biliary calculi may be of help in the management of patients with calculous disease. Several methods of analysis are available for identifying these constituents. Most common are chemical methods, optical crystallography, x-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. The application of a SEM with x-ray analysis capabilities should be considered as an additional alternative.A scanning electron microscope equipped with an x-ray “mapping” attachment offers an additional dimension in its ability to locate elemental constituents geographically, and thus, provide a clue in determination of possible metabolic etiology in calculus formation. The ability of this method to give an undisturbed view of adjacent layers of elements in their natural state is of advantage in determining the sequence of formation of subsequent layers of chemical constituents.

Computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) has been assessed for the determination of form and size distribution of heavy metals in urban contaminated soils. Metal distributions within individual particles were determined using X-ray element mapping. The sites selected for study were (1) around a landfill site, previously a colliery in Wolverhampton, UK and (2) a private garden adjacent to a railway in Nottingham, UK. Backscattered thresholding techniques were used to isolate the Pb-containing categories. The classification results for both Wolverhampton and Nottingham soils were generally similar but more Pb-containing classes were observed for the Nottingham samples when a comparison was made between results of the same size fractions. However, difficulties with the technique arose when particles showing chemically similar weathering crusts were assigned to the same class, despite having different internal compositions. The CCSEM data therefore need to be interpreted with caution and their application limited to situations in which particle internal complexity is not an issue.

One of the main tasks in the study of historic buildings is the need to identify the original materials and extensions, which often have historic character. The next task concerns the determination of the composition and structure of the historical, diagnosis technique to develop original paint. The article presents the preliminary results of paintings. Methods were used with the scanning electron microscope was equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS).

Nowadays x-ray fluorescence analysis is one of the major techniques for determination of trace elements. Vacuum operated Si (Li) .energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometers can analyze simultaneously up to 50 elements from Na (Z=11) to U (Z = 92) . Proper interpretation of the accumulated spectra requires correct solution of x-ray line overlap problems. In many cases knowledge of x-ray intensity ratios can make the procedure for resolving the overlapped peaks more reliable and reproducible. Measurements of radiative transition rates can also provide fundamental tests of theoretical atomic structure calculations. There are many other useful applications of x-ray emission rates in theoretical and experimental physics. On the other hand, there are differences in the published data, which suggests that x-ray intensity ratios are still not known with the necessary accuracy, and new measurements are useful and necessary.

Lignocellulosic materials are generally considered hydrophilic due to the high density of hydroxyl groups. The use of lignocellulosic materials in hydrophobic systems thus require surface modification. Therefore, in this study, cellulose (MCC) and sawdust (SD) have been pretreated with ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl) prior to surface modification with cationic surfactant, hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effect of BMIMCl pretreatment prior to surface modification has been investigated. Crystallinity, functional group changes, morphology and thermal stability of the sawdust and cellulose upon BMIMCl pretreatment and surface modification have been studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). XRD results showed that the structure of lignocellulosic materials became more amorphous upon pretreatment with BMIMCl. FTIR results indicated that the modification of lignocellulosic is more efficient in BMIMCl-pretreated samples. Percentage of decomposition is higher for the BMIMCl-pretreated and CTAB modified samples.
