zeolite fau type-y is one of the most studied framework of all zeolites, and has been used as catalysts for number of reactions in the refinery and petrochemical industry. in this research, nanocrystalline zeolite y was synthesized by hydrothermal method. the crystal size of zeolite y is influenced by temperature, aging time, alkalinity, and water content. the synthesized zeolite nay is identif...

Recent major improvements to the transmission electron microscope (TEM) including aberration-corrected electron optics, light-element-sensitive analytical instrumentation, sample environmental control, and high-speed and sensitive direct electron detectors are becoming more widely available. When these advances are combined with in situ TEM tools, such as multimodal testing based on microelectr...

The properties of transition metal oxides are related to the presence of elements with mixed valences. The spectroscopy analysis of the valence states is feasible experimentally, but a spatial mapping of valence states of transition metal elements is a challenge to existing microscopy techniques. In this paper, with the use of valence state information provided by the white lines and near-edge ...

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and epifluorescence microscopy were used to obtain comparative measurements of total bacterial counts, and to enumerate abundances of various bacterial morphotypes in an eutrophic freshwater habitat. Although particulate matter would have been expected to interfere with counting by obscuring large areas of the electron microscope grids, estimates of total ...

The properties of transition-metal oxides are related to the presence of elements with mixed valences, such as Mn and Co. Spatial mapping of the valence-state distribution of transition-metal elements is a challenge to existing microscopy techniques. In this letter, using the valence-state information provided by the white lines observed in electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a transmission el...

When the development of correctors started in the 1970s, chromatic correction was already the main goal. The first corrector that could improve the resolution of an electron microscope was a chromatic corrector for a scanning electron microscope. Within the last three decades, the development of transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) was to a large extent driven by the attempt to improve the ...

Electron tomography is a three-dimensional technique well suited for characterizing fine-scale microstructural features on the order of 10-100 nm. Typically performed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), it relies on successive image acquisition at multiple sample tilts. Images may be formed through various techniques including conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy ...

Electron beam techniques namely Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), the closely related Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) find ample applications on the characterization of various types of geological materials including clays. They provide morphological, structural and chemical information down to the atomic scale. The principal advantage of the ele...

nanotechnology has been advanced since the last decades. among all nanomaterials that have been developed, nanosilver is the most frequently used nanoparticles. its release into natural water bodies is inevitable due to its broad applications. nanosilver (nag) was prepared via tollens method using. the morphology, size distribution and average size of the obtained nag was characterized using tr...

With our recently developed deformation device, the in situ tensile tests of single crystal molybdenum nanowires with various size and aspect ratio were conducted inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM). We report an unusual ambient temperature (close to room temperature) super-plastic elongation above 127% on single crystal body-centred cubic (bcc) molybdenum nanowires with an optimize...
