Pore size distribution, porosities and consequently derived densities are key parameters for the qualification of inert matrix fuel (IMF). Porous features must be determined accurately for assessing the in-pile behaviour of the fuel. The analytical methodo ...
[1] Vertical overturns, produced by turbulence in density-stratified lakes and oceans, are often quantified by the Thorpe scale, L-T. The correlation between L-T and the Ozmidov (energy-containing) scale can be used to estimate rates of turbulent dissipati ...
Nucleation has been studied on atomic scale for Ag deposition on a Pt(111) surface at low temperature (50-120 K) by means of variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. From island density versus coverage data, the transition from the initial steps ...
The aim of Optical Digital Holography, applied to cells and tissue imaging, is to provide an accurate 3D imaging of biologic materials, down to the microscopic scale. The method has been developed to yield a very precise determination of cells and tissues ...
It was recently suggested, basing on the analysis of a wide range of macroscopic experimental results([1-4]), that fatigue in ferroelectric thin film capacitors, particularly in the case of PZT with metallic electrodes (Pt), must be related to the freezing ...
We present a novel integrative method for characterizing transport in the lymphatic capillaries in the tail of the anesthetized mouse, which is both sensitive and reproducible for quantifying uptake and flow. Interstitially injected, fluorescently labeled ...
Thin films are often grown away from thermodynamic equilibrium and their morphology becomes determined by kinetics. The final structure of the epitaxial film is decided in the very early stage of submonolayer nucleation and island growth. Recent experiment ...
We present recent results of the study of surface properties and quantum efficiency (QE) of CsI photocathodes prepared on various substrates. Microanalysis methods provide laterally resolved surface morphology and chemical composition of the photoemissive ...
Photoelectron energy distribution spectra taken for the first time on micrometer-sized areas of cleaved GaAs(110) reveal rigid shifts from location to location in the photoemission core level peak energies, indicating band-bending changes on a microscopic ...
The move of photoemission analysis from the macroscopic to the microscopic domain has been accelerated by the advent of new ultrabright synchrotron sources of soft-X-rays. This makes an overview of photoemission spectromicroscopy, photoemission at high lat ...
