Toners are micron scale polymer particles constructed of several kinds of resin, pigment, wax, etc. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used for observation of the dispersion of the component materials in toners, but TEM images cannot identify simultaneously all components. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) not only provides simultaneous observation of spatial distributions of...

Gold nanorods are widely known for their photothermal properties to treat solid tumors. Our work demonstrates the unrealized capacity to image these reagents in liquid at high resolution using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Here we perform the first atomic measurements of functionalized nanorods in solution while visualizing their dynamic behaviour with TEM.

A dual stage process of depositing bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (BCNTs) by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) and coating Si using Radio frequency sputtering (RFS) technique. The films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron field emission studies (EFE)....

A single-step approach for the synthesis of multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT) filled with nanowires of Ni/ternary Zr based hydrogen storage alloy has been illustrated. We also demonstrate the generation of COfree hydrogen by methane decomposition over alloy hydride catalyst. The present work also highlights the formation of single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and MWNTs at varying process conditions. The...

AOC herein describes a collection of material degradation features observed in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) that have been intentionally degraded with a range of electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress conditions. Failure analysis techniques employed include emission microscopy, Focused Ion Beam (FIB) microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results have enabl...

The Purkinje cell and their synaptic contacts have been described using (1) light microsocopy, (2) transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and freeze etching technique, (3) conventional and field emission scanning electron microscopy and cryofracture methods, (4) confocal laser scanning microscopy using intravital stain FM64, and (5) immunocytochemical techniques for Synapsin-I, PSD9-5, ...

in the present investigation surface modification of silica nanoparticles by alumina was carried out by sol-gel process. fourier transform infrared (ftir) and x-ray fluorescence (xrf) confirmed the synthesis of silica and the surface modification as alumina is anchored to silica surface. field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem) investigation...

the synthesis, characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials are an important aspect in nanotechnology. the present study deals with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using the aqueous extract of red seaweed gelidiella acerosa as the reducing agent to study the antifungal activity. the formation of ag-nps was confirmed by uv-visible spectroscopy, x-ray ...

sio2-coated cobalt ferrite (cofe2o4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of cofe2o4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. the effects of sio2coating on the magnetic properties of cofe2o4 nanoparticles were investigated. the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of as-prepared sample were characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd), f...
