A high-throughput investigation of local epitaxy (called combinatorial substrate epitaxy) was carried out on Ca2MnO4 Ruddlesden-Popper thin films of six thicknesses (from 20 to 400 nm), all deposited on isostructural polycrystalline Sr2TiO4 substrates. Electron backscatter diffraction revealed grain-over-grain local epitaxial growth for all films, resulting in a single orientation relationship ...

Copper bonding wires were characterized using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). During drawing, shear components are mainly located under the surface and ,111. and ,100. fiber texture components develop with similar volume fractions. Grain average misorientation (GAM) and scalar orientation spread (SOS) of the ,100. component are lower than those of the ,111. or other orientations. Also,...

to study the nature and magnitude of gene effects, heritability and number of effective factors for grain yield and some yield components in rice, six generations viz., p1, p2, f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 were prepared from the crosses of shapasand × irfaon-215 and irfaon-215 × saleh and grown in a randomized complete design with three replications. results of analysis of variance showed significant di...

Recrystallization and grain growth of gold bonding wire have been investigated with Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD). The textures of the drawn gold wires contain major <111>, minor <100> and small fractions of complex fiber components. The <100> oriented regions are located in the center and surface of the wire, and the complex fiber component regions are located near the surface. The ...

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of liquid nitrogen aeration on mortalities of adult Cryptolestes furrugineus, rusty grain beetles, in a prototype cardboard grain bin equipped with an aeration system. The grain bin was filled with Hard Red Spring wheat and liquid nitrogen was introduced from the bottom of the bin. The survival of both cold acclimated and unacclimated C. furrugin...

The dependence of grain orientation on stress-induced martensitic transformation in superelastic, polycrystalline Nickel-Titanium sheet was examined at the microstructural length scale. Full-field strains, indicative of transformation extent, were characterized in fields of view of nominally 100 μm x 100 μm using a custom combination of scanning electron microscopy with distortioncorrected digi...

Preliminary notes A laboratory laser beam drying method for corn grain kernels is presented and the corresponding energy transfer is analysed. The proposed drying method enables fast and efficient decrease in grain humidity while preserving grain sprouting. Laser beam was directed to the thin grain layer with powers of 10 kW/m and 20 kW/m. Grains were illuminated from one side during a period o...

Copper and gold bonding wires were characterized and compared using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). During drawing, <111> and <100> fiber textures are the main components in the wires and shear components are mainly located under the surface. Grain average misorientation (GAM) and scalar orientation spread (SOS) of the <100> component in copper and gold bonding wires are lower than tho...

In 18F micro-autoradiography using a frozen section method, the grain production was measured relative to the exposure time and radioactivity. The grain production increased until 6-hr exposure, but 7-hr or longer exposure induced a characteristic of latent image fading. However, the ratios of the efficiency of grain production between two different 18F-radioactivities (11.9 and 2.3 mBq/100 mic...
