Titanium (Ti) corrodes clinically in the presence of bacteria. We investigated this phenomenon as a function of Ti particles found in biopsied tissues around peri-implantitis sites and surface roughness of failed Ti implants. Tissue biopsies were surgically collected from peri-implantitis sites, processed, and embedded in resin. The resin-embedded samples were hand trimmed to the region of interest and semi-thick (500 nm) sections were collected onto coverslips. One section was toluidine blue post-stained as a reference. The remainder sections were left unstained for energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. Processed samples were examined under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDX. Corresponding failed implants were also removed and examined under SEM and EDX. Five out of eight biopsied samples demonstrated the presence of Ti particles in the soft tissue, suggesting the true rate among all failures was between 24.5% and 91.5% (the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval for the true rate of Ti presence). SEM analysis of failed implant bodies also indicated changes in surface morphology and appeared less detailed with decreased weight percent of Ti on the surface of the failed implants. In conclusion, Ti particles were noted in 5/8 biopsied samples. Surface morphologies were smoother in failed implants compared with the reference implant.

Pelapisan nanokomposit Ni/Si3N4 pada substrat Cu telah dilakukan dengan proses elektroplating pada berbagai konsentrasi ion Ni2+ pada 0,26; 0,56; 0,86; 1,16; dan 1,46 M. Nano silicon nitrit dicampur pada larutan sebagai dispersed phase. Pengaruh konsentrasi ion Ni2+ dalam larutan plating dikaji terhadap dispersi partikel pada lapisan nanokomposit Nikel-Silikon Nitrit. Untuk mengetahui struktur, sifat-sifat fisik dan kimia dari bahan sintesis, beberapa prosedur karakterisasi telah dilakukan. Dari hasil analisis komposisi lapisan nanokomposit menggunakan energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), diperoleh penurunan konsentrasi ion Ni2+ pada elektrolit menyebabkan peningkatan kandungan Si pada lapisan nanokomposit Ni/S3N4 dari 0,62 at.% menjadi 3,01 at.%. Sedangkan dari Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) surface morphologies lapisan nanokomposit Ni/Si3N4 terlihat struktur dari lapisan nano komposit compact (padat) dan ukuran butir semakin kecil dengan penurunan konsentrasi ion Ni2+. Secara umum dispersi dari partikel penguat Si pada lapisan nanokomposit Ni/Si3N4 merata pada permukaan lapisan. semakin kecil konsentrasi ion Ni2+ dalam larutan plating semakin tinggi efisiensinya.Kata kunci: Elektroplating, Nanokristal, Nanokomposit, Ni, Si3N4

Ni-P ultra-black films having conical pores with the diameter of ~ 10-30 μm and the depth of ~ 15-30 μm were prepared by chemical etching of electroless plated Ni-P films using 8 mol/L nitric acid at 40 °C for 60 s. The phase composition and microstructure of the film samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The results show that the diameter and depth of the etching pores become larger and the flat top regions bounded by etching pores become smaller by the coalescence of adjacent pores with the increase of etching time. The surface morphologies of the etched Ni-P films are characterized by the distribution of conical pores.

The direct electrochemical reduction of solid titanium dioxide (TiO2) is conducted in [BMIM]BF4-CaCl2 ionic liquid (IL) at 100 °C using sintered TiO2 as cathode and graphite rod as anode at an electrolysis potential of 3.2 V. Cyclic voltammetry is used to investigate the mechanism and feasibility of the direct electrochemical reduction of solid TiO2 in [BMIM]BF4-CaCl2 IL at 100 °C. The surface morphologies of the cathode are examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The crystal phase structure of the cathode is examined using a D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer(XRD). The results indicate that the direct electrochemical reduction of solid TiO2 in [BMIM]BF4-CaCl2 IL is feasible. A significant increase in conductivity is obtained by doping graphite into the cathode, thereby enhancing deoxidation. TiO2 reduction is conducted step by step, from outside to inside, and from high to low valence variation.

The brownmillerite structural Ca2Fe2O5is successfully prepared by high energy milling starting from CaCO3and Fe2O3. The composition and transformation of phase and structure with different milling time and annealed at 800 °C for 24 h were characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results indicate that the high pure brownmillerite structural Ca2Fe2O5could be efficiently synthesized at lower temperature by the mechanically activated mixtures.

Archaeological excavations at the Sungai Batu Archeological Complex have unearthed potsherds with monument structures. The discovery of the potsherds enables scientific studies of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis to be conducted and resolve related issues such as where the raw materials were obtained by the manufacturers. To solve the issue, potsherds were taken from around the ancient river, and scientific analyses was conducted for comparison purposes. Before the clay sample was subjected to the scientific analyses, the samples were cleaned and measured (for weight, thickness and width). Color sampling was also performed. Based on results of the analyses, it clearly shows that the potsherds was produced using raw materials from the ancient river in the Sungai Batu Complex itself and baked at a temperature between 550°C and 650°C.

We have recently examined the microscopic electrical inhomogeneities present in dislocation free, floating zone, Si crystals grown under various conditions by conductivity mode scanning electron microscopy. Schottky barriers produced by evaporation of thin Au-Pd (on N type) or Ti (on P type) electrodes were employed in order to eliminate possible changes in defect structure or electrical activity during production of a diffused junction.Doped and undoped crystals, as well as crystals subjected to special treatments, such as melt quenching were examined in this study. Prior to SEM analysis, each crystal was characterized by preferential etching, Cu or Li decoration, and x-ray topography. All of the defects detected by these methods, save C impurity striations detected via their dilatation of the Si lattice in x-ray topographs, were observed in the SEM experiments. For example, “swirl” defects of both type “A” (large) and type “B” (small) were readily revealed via the enhanced recombination rate of electron beam injected carriers in their vicinity (see Figs. 1 and 2).

AZO nanometer powders were prepared by combustion synthesis. The influence on the synthesis of AZO nanometer powders were investigated in conditions of using single fuel or dual fuel by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results showed that the AZO powders were well-distributed with smaller grain size when using dual fuel.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.
