The Atomic Structure of Disordered Ion Tracks in Magnesium Aluminate Spinel

From: JOM | Date: April 1, 2007| Author: Matsumura, Syo; Yamamoto, Tomokazu; Yasuda, Kazuhiro | Copyright information

Atomic resolution transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) observations and analysis have been undertaken on magnesium aluminate spinel to understand the structure of ion tracks induced by swift heavy ions. A combination of TEM techniques, which includes high-resolution and bright-field (BF) imaging, and high angular resolution electron channeling spectroscope (HARECXS) analysis, disclosed the atomic structure of ion tracks. Swift heavy ions induce cation disordering along the latent tracks for...

Sizing DNA Using a Nanometer-Diameter Pore
Biophysical Journal ; ABSTRACT Each species from bacteria to human has a distinct genetic fingerprint. Therefore, a mechanism that detects a single molecule of DNA represents the ultimate analytical tool. As a first step in the development of such a tool, we have explored using a nanometer-diameter pore, sputtered in a
Explosive Detection Systems Move Into US Airports
Instrument Business Outlook ; A new approach to bomb detection, recommended by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security in February of last year, broke the market for explosive detection systems (EDS) in US airports wide open. Before that, the US airport market for EDS was stifled by the Federal Aviation
