Bulk magnesium was consolidated from pure Mg particles with an average size of ~59 µm by back pressure equal channel angular pressing. The Mg powder was processed at 200°C for 4 and 8 passes, respectively, using route C. The consolidated materials displayed density of 1.78 g/cm3, compared to the theoretical value of 1.74 g/cm3 for pure Mg. Vickers microhardness (HV) values were measured to be about 54. Compressive tests at room temperature revealed yield strengths of 100-110 MPa and ultimate strengths of up to 142 MPa with strains to fracture of ~9%, comparable to those for extruded pure Mg. Microstructures were examined using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Hollow nickel ferrite microspheres with a diameter of about 1.5 to 2.5 μm were synthesized using an emulsion-based solvothermal method in combination with calcination at 550°C. The structures and morphologies of the nickel ferrite microspheres were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer, a transmission electron microscopy and a field emission scanning electron microscopy. Magnetization measurement was carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercivity of nickel ferrite microspheres could reach 19.41 emu/g and 202.28 Oe, respectively. Hollow nickel ferrite microspheres might be used as catalysts, magnetic materials and microwave absorbers.

The role that scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is playing in descriptive helminthology is becoming more apparent in the literature. However, the majority of papers on the SEM of helminths have used conventional or modified light microscope techniques of fixation and dehydration, and not established SEM techniques in which freeze- and critical point-drying are routinely used. The present investigation was undertaken to examine the applicability of modified scanning and transmission electron microscope techniques for the preparation of certain helminths for SEM.Method I.– Live animal-parasitic nematodes were fixed in 6% phosphate buffered glutaraldehyde for 24 hr at room temperature.

AbstractHierarchical nickel microwires with nanothorns were fabricated through a reduction of nickelous salt with hydrazine in diethanolamine. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The growth mechanism of the nickel microwires with nanothorns is proposed, based on the evolution of the structures and morphologies, which could be ascribed to the cooperative effect of the complexant of diethanolamine and inherent magnetic interactions. Magnetic properties of the product were measured at room temperature and compared with other shaped counterparts.

Strongly bonded arrays of vertically aligned, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been successfully grown on Ta foils, and provide a convenient basis for fabricating electrodes with high conductivity and stability. The MWNT arrays were further coated by nanostructured MnO2 through reacting with KMnO4 solution at room temperature. The morphology of the MnO2/MWNT nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the MnO2 is a beehive-like nanostructure that is homogeneously and densely coated on the surface of the MWNTs. The capacitance of the MWNT electrode was significantly increased from 0.14 to 6.81 mF cm–2 after being modified with nanostructured MnO2, that is, the mass-specific capacitance of the bare and MnO2-modified MWNTs was about 33 and 446 F g–1, respectively. The MnO2/MWNT nanocomposite on Ta foils could be potential for developing a supercapacitor.

ABSTRACTNucleation of gold nanoclusters in TiO2(110) single crystal using ion implantation and subsequent annealing were studied by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry /channeling (RBS/C), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Approximately 1000 Au2+/nm2 were implanted at room temperature in TiO2(110) substrates. TEM and SEM measurements reveal that rounded nanoclusters were formed during the implantation. In contrast, subsequent annealing in air for 10 hours at 1275 K promoted the formation of faceted (rectangular shaped) Au nanostructures in TiO2. RBS channeling measurements further reveled that Au atoms randomly occupied the host TiO2 lattice during the implantation. However, it appears that some Au atoms moved to the Ti lattice positions after annealing.

Highly aligned nanowire bundles were controllably fabricated through the reaction of Si with oxygen, using molten Ga and Au as catalysts. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that the bundles have the ability to self-assemble into various morphologies, a few of which, including one that strikingly resembles a sunflower, were not reported before. Examinations of the bundles by transmission electron microscopy show that they contain fine, amorphous SiOx nanowires, with x ranging from 1.2 to 1.5. In the sunflower-like morphology, highly packed bundles form the disc florets and loosely packed bundles around the rim of the disc form the ray florets. We have studied the conditions under which the sunflower-like morphology could be obtained and suggest a possible mechanism for its growth. Room-temperature cathodoluminescence spectra of the nanowire bundles show that they emit an intense broad-band light covering the entire visible range.
