Testicular biopsy materials of men were examined with the electron microscope equipped with a tilling stage. An optical transformation method was applied for the electron microscope images. An attempt was made to clarify relationships between the contour and the internal pattern of Reinke's crystal in the interstitial cell. The shape of this crystal is a hexagonal prism. Three types of internal...

The general behavior of majrn»!it< (iron ferrite) at its low temperature transformation (ca 1!8°K) is reviewed. One of the properties which undergoes a largr change is the magnetocrystailine snisotropy, which is larger in magnitude and has a lower symmetry below the transformation. The magnetic symmetry axis below the transition tempeiature can be predetermined by cooling a single crystal throu...

Many alloys display the shape-memory effect in single crystal form, however the degree to which they retain this effect in polycrystalline form varies widely. We propose a theoretical explanation for this difference, showing that the recoverable strain of a polycrystal depends on the texture of the polycrystal, the transformation strain of the underlying martensitic transformation and especiall...
