The study of semiconductor interfaces and of solid interfaces in general requires novel instrument capable to investigate the lateral fluctuations of properties on a microscopic scale. We present the first result of a major effort in that framework, whose ...
We present a digital method for holographic microscopy involving a CCD camera as a recording device. Off-axis holograms recorded with a magnified image of microscopic objects are numerically reconstructed in amplitude and phase by calculation of scalar dif ...
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 report a microscopic study of the Au/5 Angstrom SiNx/GaAs Schottky barrier based on scanning near-field optical microscopy. Photocurrent yield microimages taken at different photon energies reveal non-topographic features. Taking into account their depe ...
We describe here a numerical application of the optical low- coherence holographic microscopy (OLCHM) technique. A low coherent source illuminates an object and the backscattered light interfere with a reference wave which optical path's length can be prec ...
A surprising non-cumulative effect of the degradation mechanism (fatigue) of the switched polarization (P-r(s)), was observed in MOCVD and sol-gel prepared Pb(Zr0.47Ti0.53)O-3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin films capacitors (FECAP) with Pt-electrodes. This effec ...
We present a detailed investigation, based on ensemble density functional theory simulations, of the microscopic mechanisms that accompany the sliding of grain boundaries in aluminum, a typical ductile metal. We find a variety of sliding behaviors, includi ...
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 ...
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 ...
When considering why microscopy methods should be used in cement and concrete science, a rather simple answer is that cement is a microscopic material: a grey powder whose grains range from around 100 μm down to less than 1 μm in size. However, its end use ...
