Nowadays, most studies utilizing diffraction contrast tomography, either in the lab or at the synchrotron, have concentrated on relatively low-aspect-ratio samples, usually rectangular or cylindrical ...

THE grain size of the ultra-strong, ausformed steels is probably an important factor in their strength and ductility, but it is yet uncertain. The structures are so fine and complex that even the ...

(Top) Picture of thermal measurement setup in the Goodson lab, Stanford University. (bottom) The sample is placed on a high-precision stage and raster scanned to produce 2D images of the thermal ...

3D printed Titanium alloys under an electron microscope: sample on the left with large, elongated crystals was printed conventionally, while sample on the right with finer, shorter crystals was ...

Ceramics often have microstructure and grain sizes that affect material performance. It is possible to optimize microstructure and grain boundaries with ceramic processing parameters for specific ...

This degree of magnification and resolution is made possible by the use of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope, or FIB-SEM. Ordinary microscopes will not produce the same results. Curious ...
