Using a conventional reflection high-energy electron diffraction gun together with an electron energy loss spectrometer, we have combined in situ measurements of inelastic scattering intensities from Si L2 s and Ge L2,3 core losses with reflection electron diffraction data in order to analyze the initial stages of Ge heteroepitaxy on Si(OO1). Diffraction data indicate an initial layer-by-layer ...

Room temperature stabilization of up to 3.5 ML epitaxial metastable a-Sn at the Si(1 1 1)-(7 7) surface is reported. The a-Sn layers remain stabilized at the interface even after the deposition of thick Sn layers that undergo the a-Sn ! b-Sn transformation. Additionally, a small decrease in the s-electron density at the Sn nucleus is found for submonolayer of Sn at the Sn/Si(1 1 1)-(7 7) interf...

Ultrafast electron microscopy as a laser-pump/ electron-probe technique allows for the investigation of structural and electronic dynamics occurring at sub-picosecond timescales and nanometer length-scales [1,2]. However, current implementations necessitate compromises in electron source brightness compared to conventional electron microscopy techniques. Building on similar concepts in ultrafas...

When protein crystals are submicrometre-sized, X-ray radiation damage precludes conventional diffraction data collection. For crystals that are of the order of 100 nm in size, at best only single-shot diffraction patterns can be collected and rotation data collection has not been possible, irrespective of the diffraction technique used. Here, it is shown that at a very low electron dose (at mos...

Recent advances in ultrafast electron diffraction offer the possibility to image isolated molecules with sub-Angstrom spatial resolution in ultrafast time scales. In particular, diffraction from aligned molecules has opened the door to retrieving threedimensional structures directly from experimental data. In this manuscript we review the progress in ultrafast gas electron diffraction and discu...

The order Billingsellida comprises brachiopods with laminar and fibrous shells, however, the data on their microstructure are scanty and the taxonomic value of differences in their shell structure is uncertain. The shell structure of clitambonitidine Antigonambonites planus was found to be laminar, not fibrous as previously considered; possibly this shows that it belongs to the suborder Billing...

A review of earlier fluid dynamical calculations with QGP show a softening of the directed flow while with hadronic matter this effect is absent. The effect shows up in the reaction plane as enhanced emission which is orthogonal to the directed flow. Thus, it is not shadowed by the deflected projectile and target. As both of these flow components are in the reaction plane these form an enhanced...
