A new configuration for Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) in a scanning electron microscope is presented; called 'on-axis TKD'. Compared to the usual off-axis configuration, the scintillator is placed perpendicular to the incident beam under the electron-transparent sample, not in vertical position. In this way,…

Eutectic pattern transition under an externally imposed temperature gradient was studied using the phase field method coupled with a novel parallel adaptive-mesh-refinement (Para-AMR) algorithm. Numerical tests revealed that the Para-AMR algorithm could improve the computational efficiency by two orders of magnitude a…

Abstract Porous magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDH) were prepared through intercalation and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). This process generates oxygen gas nano-bubbles that pierce holes in the layered structure of the material by local pressure build-up. The decomposition of the perox…

ZnO nanowires typically show persistent photoconductivity (PPC), which depends in their temporal behaviour on the ambient. We investigate ZnO nanowires in oxygen and argon ambient and analyze the PPC both on the short and on the long time scale to sort out the underlying mechanisms. Wavelength dependent excitation sho…
