Two-dimensional dopant mapping using secondary electrons in a scanning electron microscope is a useful and rapid technique for studying dopant distributions with high spatial resolution in semiconductor materials and devices. However, it has not yet found widespread application because the quantification of dopant con…

In the frame of this work, we studied organometallic complexes in form of thin films oriented by corona poling. We report measurements of second and third-order nonlinear optical properties (NLO) obtained by SHG and THG techniques. For each compound studied, we determine the electronic contribution of the effective se…

With an increasing number of biological macromolecular crystal structures measured at ultrahigh resolution (1 A or better), it is necessary to extend to large systems the experimental valence electron density modelling that is applied to small molecules. A database of average multipole populations has been built, desc…

Abstract Composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) have been prepared by in situ polymerization. Scanning electron microscopy and high‐resolution transmission electron microscope showed that CNTs were well dispersed into PBMA matrix and wrapped with PBMA. The infrared spectrum…

To observe the ionized status of the amino acid residues in proteins at different pH (protein pH titration in the crystalline state) by neutron diffraction, hen egg-white lysozyme was crystallized over a wide pH range (2.5-8.0). Crystallization phase diagrams at pH 2.5, 6.0 and 7.5 were determined. At pH < 4.5 the bor…

Abstract TFAA has been used widely for the derivatization of hydroxyl groups in XPS of organic polymers. Unfortunately, in the presence of other nucleophilic groups at the surface like amino groups, these also react with TFAA and a quantification of the different functional group concentrations is impossible. It has b…

We show that a superresolution process with 100% visibility is characterized by the formation of a point of phase singularity in free space outside a metamaterial in the form of a saddle with topological charge equal to $\ensuremath{-}1$. The saddle point is connected to two vortices at the end boundaries of the lens,…
