    Wave-front phase retrieval in transmission electron microscopy via ptychography

    No full text
    There are many different strategies that allow the solving of the well-known phase problem corresponding to the loss of phase information during a physical measurement. In microscopy, and, in particular, in transmission electron microscopy, most of these strategies focus on the retrieval of high-resolution information with the importance of lower resolution data often overlooked. Ptychography offers a means to investigate such data. Ptychography is a robust diffractive imaging technique with fast convergence for phase retrieval but, until now, has not been applied at the nanoscale. In this paper, we use the ptychographical iterative engine to retrieve the phase change at the exit plane of metallic nanoparticles using a conventional transmission electron microscope. Ptychographical reconstructions yielded images with a phase resolution of π/10 and a spatial resolution of 1 nm. These results stand as a first step toward aberration-free lensless imaging. The technique lends itself to be an alternative to off-axis electron holography or focal series reconstructio

    International audienceCet article est issu de : Matériaux | Étude et propriétés des métaux par Yannick CHAMPION Résumé Les nano-mousses métalliques sont des structures bi-continues constituées de ligaments métalliques de dimensions nanométriques et de l'ordre de 50% de porosité. De cette architecture découlent des propriétés plasmoniques, mécaniques et chimiques spécifiques. Elles peuvent être exploitées pour des applications : actionneur mécanique ; capteur ; formation d'interconnexions pour la microélectronique ; catalyse et électrocatalyse ; composants de batterie et de supercondensateur. Ces perspectives concernent les domaines de la santé, de l'énergie et de l'environnement

    Síntese química e caracterização da liga Fe50Ni50 nanoestruturada

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas. Programa de Pós-graduação em FísicaA liga Fe50Ni50 com elevado grau de pureza foi sintetizada por redução auto catalítica ultra rápida dos correspondentes íons metálicos de transição em uma solução aquosa. A razão das concentrações dos metais na solução é preservada na liga precipitada na forma de um pó metálico. Assim, não foi observada a segregação de Ni ou Fe. Essa liga foi caracterizada como a fase taenita desordenada química e estruturalmente com tamanho médio de cristalitos em torno de 15 nm. Um tratamento térmico nesta liga a 673 K/2h produziu uma relaxação estrutural com um significativo estreitamento das linhas do DRX, nas linhas do EM acompanhado por um fluxo exotérmico no sinal de DSC. Observamos também um aumento no tamanho médio dos cristalitos para 30 nm enquanto o tamanho médio da partícula, em torno de 180 nm, permaneceu o mesmo depois do tratamento

    Political Risk for Foreign Firms in Russia

    No full text
    In this article the author discusses the political risks of foreign firms in Russia. Risks vary a great deal between the industries. Telecommunications is the most risky industry for a foreign firm at the moment. State consolidation in the oil and gas business has continued. When Russia experiences difficult times, foreign oil companies enjoy good times in Russia, and vice versa, and therefore, the latest crisis gives, at least, a temporary relief for foreign oil firms. I predict that the metal industry will also see its national champion. The production of electrical energy is a strategic sector, though it was not explicitly named in the law of strategic sectors, and foreign electricity firms operating in Russia may face surprises, if the Russian Government turns more nationalistic in the next decade.Investment climate, political risks, foreign direct investment in Russia

    Managing the Fishery at Champion Lakes Provincial Park

    Wildland RecreationThe purpose of this report is to evaluate the fishery resource at Champion Lakes Provincial Park and to propose a viable management scheme. The 1976 interim policy statement stated that "enhancement of the fishery resource in all three Champion Lakes would be desirable to add to the diversity of recreational opportunities available at the park." More recently, a request was made to proceed with rehabilitating the present fishery. This report will attempt to explain reasons for this rehabilitation and propose some practical methods of managing this fishery

    The Log

    “The Log” was a publication of the Champion Fibre Company, a major manufacturing plant in Canton, North Carolina. While images on its cover include a classroom and recreation, the short essay titled, “Want a Raise?” admonishes employees to work without expectation. “We will get more money only by doing more than we are paid to do,” author Roger W. Babson suggests. The pamphlet is a fold-out included in a larger, promotional publication titled, “Glimpses of the Plant of the Champion Fibre Co. / Canton, North Carolina." The entire run of The Log, from 1914 to 1960 is available in our Canton Champion Fibre Company collection

St. John 11:25. EASTER has a special significance-the resurrection ~rom the ci,ead- a symbol of life beyond the grave. Coming Ill the spnng of the year, when all about us we see signs of newness of life on one hand, and foretokens of immortality on the other, we are persuaded, that faith in the resurrec­tion of Him who took the sting out of death, robbed the grave of its victory, and assured man tha t be is destined to live forever ; though the body retu rn to the dust from whence it came, the soul shall find rest and security in Him who • gave It. Two thousand years ago, Ch rist left heaven, came to ea rth, living among men, suffered and di ed upon the Cro of Calvary for the remi ion of our sins, thu s, by his death made it possible for us to have life et ernal through fait h in Him as the Saviour of men.
