Low tenperature isotropic (LTI) pyrolytic carbon has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Both silicon-alloyed and unalloyed carbons were studied, in both as-deposited and polished (finished) forms. The polished materials contain significant amounts of surface oxygen. Approximately 1 in 10 of the carbon atoms in the surface volume analyzed by XPS are...

The novel SERS-active substrates were prepared by electrodeposition of Ag nanoparticles in the MWCNTs-based nanocomposites. The formation of Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The application of the Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposite in SERS was investigated by using rhodamine 6G (R6G). The present methodology demonstrates that the Ag-MWCNTs nanocomposite is suitable for SERS sensor.

In 2003, Desmeules et al. described a new pattern of renal failure resulting from the use of OSPS [29]. A 71-year-old female with a baseline creatinine of 1.0 mg/ dl presented with acute kidney injury and a creatinine of 4.5 mg/ dl two weeks following the use of OSPS. Renal biopsy revealed numerous tubular calcium phosphate deposits. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis revealed that the calcium phosphate deposits formed crystals of hydroxyapatite. The patient s creatinine declined to 1.7 mg/dl at one year of follow-up. The authors described the process as "phosphosoda-induced nephrocalcinosis" and proposed the term "acute phosphate nephropathy". 

Pseudomorphs on a bronze Shang Dynasty halberd (ca. 1300 b.c.) were subjected to mineralogical analysis to determine their structure and composition. X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive analysis of x-rays were used in these analyses. Photomicrographs of pseudomorphs also were studied for fiber, yam, and fabric formations that give evidence of textiles. A model describing the process of silk pseudomorph formation was proposed.

Electron Microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis can be effectively used in combination to provide both structural and elemental information about individual mineral particles in coal and other materials (42,53-55). Transmission electron microscopy has the advantage of higher resolution (56,57) allowing more detailed characterization of mineral inclusions. 

Automated image analysis used in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis has been shown to be an effective tool to characterize in-situ the mineral matter in raw... 

Analysis of deactivated samples of a Pt/AbOa catalyst by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis indicates that silicon is dispersed across the metal surfaces rather than on the alumina support material. In another study comparing Pt on different supports, it was impossible to determine whether deposition occurred on the silica or zeolite supports. ...

The theoretical analysis of self diffusion of long flexible chain molecules by de Gennes and by Doi and Edwards has stimulated much experimental testing of their predictions. Klein and Brisoe followed the diffusion of deuterated polyethylene into normal polyethylene by IR spectroscopy, Gilmore et al followed the diffusion of poly(vinyl chloride) in polycaprolactone by a combination of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and Shiah and Morawetz followed, by fluorescence techniques, the self diffusion of naphthalene donor and pyrene acceptor labelled polymers.
