Deformation behavior of compatible polymer blends was studied using scanning electron, optical, and transmission electron microscopies. Four different compatible systems were employed and charaterized in this investigation : polystyrene(PS) and polyphenylene oxide(PPO), polystyrene(PS) and polyvinlmethylether(PVME), polystyrene(PS) and poly $\alpha$-methylstyrene(P$\alpha$MS). Individual craze and shear deformation zone microstructures were examined by transmission microscopy (TEM). For TEM observations, specimens deformed in-situ on a TEM grid were utilized. Quantiative analysis of these crazes and shear deformation zones was obtained from the nicrodensitometry of the TEM negatives in the manner developed by Lauterwasser and Kramer. Microdensitometry resulys showed that the fibril extension ratio decreased as the PPO content increased in the PS/PPO blends, and finally, for 100% PPO, only shear deformation zones were observed. For the PS/PVME blends, the ribril extension ratio also decreased as the VME content increased. For the PS/P$\alpha$MS blends, the fibril extension ratio increased as the P$\alpha$MS content increased, For the PPO/P$\alpha$MS blends, the fibril extension ratio increased as the P$\alpha$MS content increased.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and anger electron microscopy(AES) studies of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs(x=0.58) quantum wells grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(LP-MOCVD) are carried out. Isolated quantum well structure having the well width as small as 15 \ulcornerand multiquantum well structure, which consisted of 51 alternating layers with each thickness of 10\ulcorner were suscessfully grown. TEM analyses have shown that their interfaces were almost completely coherent without any structural disorder, alloy clustering and crystal defect. AES depth resolution have shown the compositional periodicity of superlattice structure.

The austenite phase observed in low carbon HSLA steels is well known to be decomposed to various bainitic microstructures, such as granular bainite, acicular ferrite and bainitic ferrite during continuous cooling process. These bainitic microstructures have been usually identified by using either scanning electron microscope (SEM) or transmission electron microscope (TEM). However, SEM and TEM images do no exactly coincide, because of the quite different sample preparation method in SEM and TEM observations. These conventional analysis method is, thus, not suitable for characterization of the complex bainitic microstructure. In this study, focused ion beam (FIB) technique was applied to make site-specific TEM specimens and to identify the 3-dimensional grain morphologies of the bainitic microstructure. The morphological feature and grain boundary characteristics of each bainitic microstructure were exactly identified.

The focused ion beam (FIB) method is widely used to prepare specimens for observation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which offers a wide variety of imaging and analytical techniques. TEM has played a significant role in material investigation. However, the FIB method induces amorphization due to bombardment with the high-energy gallium ($Ga^+$) ion beam. To solve this problem, electron beam induced deposition (EBID) is used to form a protective layer to prevent damage to the specimen surface. In this study, we introduce an optimized TEM specimen preparation procedure by comparing the EBID of carbon and tungsten as protective layers in FIB. The selection of appropriate EBID conditions for preparing specimens for TEM analysis is described in detail.

In this study, microstructure and distribution of alloy elements were investigated in thermo-mechanically processed C-Mn-Si transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. The microstructures of TRIP steels were investigated by using advanced analysis techniques, such as three dimensional atom probe tomography (3D-APT). At first, the microstructure was observed by using TEM. TEM results revealed that microstructure of C-Mn-Si TRIP steel was composed of ferrite, bainte, and retained austenite. 3D-APT was used to characterize atomic-scale partitioning of added elements at the phase interface. In the retained austenite phase, Ti and B were enriched with C. However, there was no fluctuation of Mn and Si concentration across the interface. Through these analysis techniques, the advanced characteristics of constituent microstructure in C-Mn-Si TRIP steels were identified.

Solder/electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) joint sample which is comprised of dissimilar materials with different mechanical properties has limited the level of success in preparing thin samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This short technical note reports the operation parameters for ultramicrotomy of solder joint sample and TEM analysis results. The solder joint sample was successfully sliced to 50~70 nm thick lamellae at slicing speed of 0.8~1.2 mm/s using a boat-type $45^{\circ}$ diamond knife. Ultramicrotomy can be applied as a routine sample preparation technique for TEM analysis of solder joints.

The objectives of this study are to present a proper mathematical model for a thermoelectric cooler equipped with the spacer and to investigate the effect of its geometries by heat transfer analysis. In order to enhance the efficiency of the thermoelectric cooler, the spacer is inserted between TEM (thermoelectric module) and cold plate. The theoretical results show that the COP (coefficient of performance) increases nonlinearly as high as 0.63 with increasing the depth of spacer and the depth of TEM and with decreasing the area of insulator.

We prepare ZnO nanoparticles by environmentally friendly synthesis using Cyathea nilgiriensis leaf extract. Various phytochemical constituents are identified through the assessment of ethanolic extract of plant Cyathea nilgiriensis holttum by GC-MS analysis. The formation of ZnO nanoparticles is confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, SAED and PSA analysis. TEM observation reveals that the biosynthesized ZnO nanopowder has a hexagonal structure. The calculated average crystallite size from the high intense plane of (1 0 1) is 29.11 nm. The particle size, determined by TEM analysis, is in good agreement with that obtained by XRD analysis. We confirm the formation of biomolecules in plant extract by FT-IR analysis and propose a possible formation mechanism of ZnO nanoparticles. Disc diffusion method is used for the analyses of antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanoparticles. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibit antimicrobial effect in disc diffusion experiments. The biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles display good antibacterial performance against B. subtilis (Gram-positive bacteria) and K. pneumonia (Gram-negative bacteria). Bio-synthesized nanoparticles using green method are found to possess good antimicrobial performance.

We discuss the experimental procedure for extracting reliable phase information from a defocus series of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dark-field images using the transport of intensity equation (TIE). Taking InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well light-emitting diode as a model system, various factors affecting the final result of reconstructed phase such as TEM sample preparation, TEM imaging condition, image alignment, the correction of defocus values and the use of high frequency pass filter are evaluated. The obtained phase of wave function was converted to the geometric phase of the corresponding lattice planes, which was then used for the two-dimensional mapping of lattice strain following the dark-field inline holography (DIH) routine. The strain map obtained by DIH after optimized image processing is compared with that obtained by the geometric phase analysis of high resolution TEM (HRTEM) image, manifesting that DIH yields more accurate and reliable strain information than HRTEM-based GPA.

The capacity optimization of the heat exchanger of the TEM dehumidifier was performed through numerical analysis. If the ratio of the size of heat exchangers on the cold and hot surfaces of the TEM is not appropriate, the larger the size of the heat exchanger results the lower performance and efficiency. Optimizing the ratio of heat exchangers on the cold surface of TEM can improve the performance and the efficiency compared to when the ratio is 50%. The optimal proportion of cold surface heat exchangers is inversely proportional to the sum of the size of the heat exchangers on the cold and hot surfaces. When the optimum ratio of cold surface heat exchanger was applied, the larger the sum of size of the two heat exchangers results the greater the improvement of the performance and efficiency, compared to when the ratio of cold surface heat exchangers is 50%.
