  • However, manufacturing these diluted Bismides is not trivial, since most approaches like molecular beam epitaxy, synthesis from the melt or metal organic vapor deposition suffer from limited and inhomogeneous Bi incorporation into the crystal. (lu.se)
  • When a continuous wave or pulsed beam of ultrasound is scanned over an object an echo from the object may be detected. (dtic.mil)
  • Pulse-echo scanning is found to be sensitive to motion in three-dimensions while continuous wave CW scanning is sensitive to motion primarily in two-dimensions. (dtic.mil)

  • Using iterative algorithms as computational lenses coherent x-ray diffraction patterns are phased and render quantitative phase and amplitude images of the sample under study. (psi.ch)
  • Coherent X-ray beams can be accurately characterized using ptychography. (psi.ch)
  • This method achieves a stability of better than 10 nm between beam defining optics and sample. (psi.ch)
  • It allows metallographic investigations of air and water sensitive samples like rare earth metal rich alloys but also some intermetallic silicides, arsenides and stanides are highly air-sensitive and need to be handled completely under inert conditions. (mpg.de)
  • This means that the spectrophotometer must be highly sensitive while still maintaining an acceptable spectral resolution. (techbriefs.com)
  • These experimental results will be helpful for the research and developing of highly sensitive Raman gas detectors. (spie.org)
  • Conventional methods used to prepare ultra-thin samples required for S/TEM are slow, typically requiring many hours or even days of effort by highly trained personnel. (thermofisher.com)
  • 3. A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum (ß-human chorionic gonadotropin) test for the sample collected at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test on Day 4 before receiving the study intervention. (who.int)
  • Bone scintigraphic studies are highly sensitive but lack specificity. (medscape.com)
  • The samples prepared using FIB are analyzed by high resolution surface and bulk sensitive electron capabilities including APT, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and TEM. (pnnl.gov)
  • the different grain shapes are due to the fact that in DFXM the entire volume of the grain is analysed, while SEM is surface-sensitive. (esrf.fr)
  • Interactions between the primary electron beam and the surface of the sample. (stinstruments.com)
  • The two techniques are very different in various aspects, the most important one being that nano-XRF is a deeply penetrative but nondestructive method, whereas NanoSIMS is a surface sensitive and destructive method. (copernicus.org)
  • For samples thinner than 6-QL, STS studies reveal the openup of an energy gap in the SS due to overlaps of wave functions between the surface and interface layers. (epj-conferences.org)
  • The primary and secondary slit systems allow beam size variations between 0.3 mm and 5 mm horizontally and up to 25 mm vertically. (ill.eu)
  • A special high-voltage TEM sample holder which can be biased to ±4.5 kV was developed for enhancing secondary ion collection efficiency. (list.lu)
  • Upon scanning a test sample across the beam and measuring the resulting far-field diffraction patterns, reconstruction algorithms for ptychography retrieve phase and amplitude of the sample and the incoming beam. (psi.ch)
