Radiolysis during Liquid Cell Electron Microscopy

Studying localized corrosion using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy.

Localized corrosion of Cu and Al thin films exposed to aqueous NaCl solutions was studied using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). We demonstrate that potentiostatic control can be used to initiate pitting and that local compositional changes, due to focused ion beam implantation of Au(+) ions, can modify the corrosion susceptibility of Al films.

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

Radiolysis of Liquid Propane: non-Radical Reactions

The yields of ionic and excited molecule reactions in y-radiolysis of liquid propane from 35 to -130C have been assessed by isotopic analysis of C3Hs-l-C3Ds+Oz and CH3CD2CH3 -1-02 mixtures. From a comparison with gas phase data the following conclusions are reached for the gas to liquid phase change: (a) the ionic decomposition yield rlecreases by :5 69 %, (b) the net excited molecule decomposi...

Radiolysis of Liquid Propane: Radical Reactions

The radical reactions in the liquid phase y-radiolysis of propane have been studied from -130 to 35°C and compared with the gas-phase radiolysis at 35°C. Oxygen was used as a scavenger 10 separate thermal radical yields, and effects· of phase and temperature on the radical yields were assessed. The gas-liquid phase change (a) decreases total decomposition by about 14 %, (b) increMCs disproporti...
