InP islands in a matrix of GaInP are investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The islands are uniform in size and shape, and are formed though self‐organized Stranski‐Krastanow growth. The introduction of a 4 ML intermediate GaP layer eliminates the bimodal distribution found in films where the InP was grown directly on the GaInP layer. The achieved island density is around 2 × 109
This short article introduces a novel framework for conceiving of the substantive representation of marginalized groups – in this case, racially minoritized women in the UK House of Commons. I outline a rubric of eight facets of substantive representation. These evaluate the degree to which claims that constitute a group are also substantively representative of that group. In doing so, I contribut
The high energy electron beam was used for the local amorphisation of metallic multilayer. The observed effect is proposed for the application in nanometer-scale technology.
Coherent InP nano-sized islands, embedded into GaInP, have been grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy using the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode. Photoluminescence, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies show that the insertion of a thin similar to 4 monolayer thick GaP layer affects the critical thickness of the subsequently deposited two-dimensional InP wetting Coherent InP nano-sized islands, embedded into GaInP, have been grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy using the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode.

We have used transmission electron microscopy to determine the morphology of InP Stranski-Krastanow islands in GaInP, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 580 degrees C. We investigated both capped and uncapped islands. It was found that the fully developed islands have the principal shape of truncated pyramids with a hexagonal base both before and after overgrowth.

Satellite dark field (SDF) imaging is used to show that there is a definite change in symmetry on moving across the two-phase region separating the so-called "defect fluorite" and C-type sesquioxide solid solution regions in (1 - x)CeO2 · xRO1.5 and (1 - x )ZrO2 · xRO1.5 systems. SDF images of the "defect fluorite" side of the two-phase region are characterized by a microdomain texture on the ∼100
Shape, size and density of dots of InP on GaInP and GaAs surfaces, formed in-situ by the strain-induced phase transition from a two-dimensional (Frank-Van der Merwe) into a three-dimensional layer+islands (Stranski-Krastanow) morphology, are investigated. The observations support models which include the kinetics of island formation as important ingredients to explain the rather high size homogene
C2H4 oxidation on plane Pt/SiO2 model catalysts with various Pt loadings was studied at T = 373-473 K and in the pressure ranges 10-6-102 Torr C2H4 and 0.3-1500 Torr O2 (1 Torr = 133.3 Pa). Mass spectrometry combined with spatially resolved gas sampling enabled kinetic data to be collected far into the viscous pressure regime. Reaction orders and activation energies were similar to those of a macr
Epitaxial TiN films were grown on cubic (3C)-SiC(001) and hexagonal (6H)-SiC(0001) substrates by ultrahigh vacuum reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target in a mixed Ar and N2 discharge at a substrate temperature of 700°C. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, including high-resolution imaging, showed orientational relationships TiN(001) ∥ 3C-SiC(001), and TiN[110] ∥ 3C-SiC[110],
A simple method for extracting compositional information from high-resolution electron microscopy images of an amorphous two-element system using a slow-scan CCD camera has been developed. The method has been evaluated on amorphous Si/Ge multilayers. The characterisation of the multilayers provided information about thickness of the layers, maximum concentrations within the layers and elemental pr
Molecular dynamics (MD) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) imaging are used to investigate the mechanism of strain relaxation of a model 3C-SiC(001)/Si(001) interface. It is found that the essential atomic mechanism governing this process is the formation of undulations in planes parallel and perpendicular to the interface. The net effect is the generation of misfit-accommodating dislo
The formation conditions, structure, and properties of the recently discovered phosphide, Si12P5 (initially assigned Si7P3), have been studied using x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photospectrometry, and a four-point probe. The phosphide formed in amorphous Si-P alloy thin films with 30, 35 and 44 at. % P after annealing at 1000°C for 30 min. During annealing a
The arrangement of yttrium atoms in YB56with YB66structure was determined by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) using a slow-scan CCD camera. Digital HREM images recorded along the [100], [110], and [111] directions of the YB56crystals showed "averaged" yttrium atom positions in the boron clusters, which were also confirmed by image simulation. Digital HREM images recorded from thin region
Electoral politics remains a much-gendered sphere, dominated by men political actors and masculine behaviors. Media coverage of politics has often reinforced gendered norms. This article uses qualitative thematic analysis of three U.S. newspapers’ coverage of the 2016 presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to explore how the mediated construction of political leaders is gend
We have found the deposition technology at which the interface roughness of Nb/Si multilayer is strongly correlated and decreases with deposited layer number. On the basis of our Nb/Si multilayer we succeeded to prepare ten-fold stacked Josephson junction (JJ). Basic electric properties of stacked JJ are presented.
The exact three-dimensional structure of a nanosized colloidal particle of Pd3P was determined directly from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images that were recorded in several crystallographic directions. An HRTEM image recorded along [011] is shown on the right. The cores of the particles were excluded from the analysis because of severe multiple diffraction.
This timely book addresses the political under-representation of women and over-representation of men, both in the UK and internationally. It does so by bringing together perspectives from political science and sociolinguistics to analyse the relationship between gender and language in a variety of political spheres. Specifically, it investigates how both women and men use language and interact ac
The strain distribution in InP quantum dots, coherently grown on a GaInP substrate, was determined by image analysis of high-resolution electron microscopy images. Image simulations were used to verify the obtained results. The measured strain values were compared with values obtained from finite element calculations, using the dot shape determined by electron microscopy. The measured and calculat
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, T. thioparus, Acidianus brierleyi and TH2 Lund, an archaeal isolate, were tested for sulphur oxidising capacity on ground rubber from spent car tyres. T. ferrooxidans converted 8% (w/w) of the sulphur in cryo-ground spent rubber to sulphate in 20 days. Desulphurization of fresh made natural rubber was studied with scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive x-ray
