AbstractWe have employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy to perform preliminary assessment of the structure, composition and electronic properties of nanowire arrays at high spatial resolution. The two systems studied were bismuth and bismuth telluride nanowire arrays in alumina (wire diameters ~40nm), both of which are promising for thermoelectric applications. Imaging coupled with diffraction in the TEM was employed to determine the grain size in electrodeposited Bi2Te3 nanowires. In addition, a composition gradient was identified along the wires in a short region near the electrode by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Electron energy loss spectroscopy combined with energy-filtered imaging in the TEM revealed the excitation energy and spatial variation of plasmons in bismuth nanowire arrays.

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.

AbstractThe knowledge of composition and strain with high spatial resolution is highly important for the understanding of the chemical and electronic properties of alloyed nanostructures. Several applications require a precise knowledge of both composition and strain, which can only be extracted by self-consistent methodologies. Here, we demonstrate the use of a quantitative high resolution transmission electron microscopy (QHRTEM) technique to obtain two-dimensional (2D) projected chemical maps of epitaxially grown Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, with high spatial resolution, at different crystallographic orientations. By a combination of these data with an iterative simulation, it was possible infer the three-dimensional (3D) chemical arrangement on the strained Ge-Si:Si(001) islands, showing a four-fold chemical distribution which follows the nanocrystal shape/symmetry. This methodology can be applied for a large variety of strained crystalline systems, such as nanowires, epitaxial islands, quantum dots and wells, and partially relaxed heterostructures.

The morphological forms of the precipitates and other defects in the heat-treated oxygen-containing CZ silicon have been extensively documented, but little information concerning the morphology as a function of the position in the ingot has been reported. Recent studies, using high resolution analytical electron microscopy, have shown that plate type precipitates observed in the seed end of the silicon ingot were amorphous and contain oxygen. We have carried out a detailed TEM study of the precipitate morphology in the heat-treated wafers cut from the seed, middle, and tang regions of the CZ ingot. The interstitial oxygen concentrations in the as grown Si were 2.1×1018cm−3, 1.6×10−18cm−3, and 1.5×1018cm−3 in the seed, middle and tang regions, respectively. Initial carbon was below IR detectability limit, but was higher in the tail than seed, based on segregation coefficients. The wafers were subjected to two-step anneals: 1. 0-16 hrs., 800°C in nitrogen and 2. 16 hrs., 1050°C in dry oxygen.

Intermetal1ic compounds, such as LaCo5, have been used as active and selective catalysts in chemical reaction involving (CO,H2) mixtures. The general understanding regarding these catalysts is that the observed activation is associated with a partial transformation of the intermetallic component into a metal-support system. The macroscopic study of LaCo3 by use of synchrotron radiation absorption measurements (EXAFS and XANES data analysis) largely support this hypothesis. In this work, the microscopic structure of these catalysts has been studied by HRAEM.

ABSTRACTWe have examined supported PtRus specimens by a variety of electron microscopy techniques, including high resolution, analytical and a novel mass-spectroscopic electron microscopy techniques. Analytical electron microscopy results showed that the relative atomic concentration of Pt to Ru for each PtRu5 cluster is 1 to 5. The average diameter of the clusters was a 15.6Å, and the average number of atoms was measured to be 24 atoms per cluster. The combination of these techniques demonstrate that the PtRu5 clusters are raft-like on the carbon black support.
