The microstructure and magnetic domain structure of a Co-CoO obliquely evaporated tape for magnetic recording are studied by analytical electron microscopy and electron holography, respectively. While the existence of Co and CoO crystallites is confirmed by energy-filtered electron diffraction, columnar structure of the Co crystallites surrounded by the densely packed CoO crystallites is visualized by an elemental mapping method with electron energy loss spectroscopy, and the crystal orientation relation among the Co crystallites is clarified by high-resolution electron microscopy. It is found that the neighboring Co crystallites have close crystal orientations. On the other hand, electron holography reveals the magnetic flux distribution in a thin section of the tape. Although there exists the background resulting from the effect of inner potential with thickness variation, the distribution of lines of magnetic flux is found to correspond well to the recorded pattern.

Anode free concepts are gaining traction in battery research. To improve cyclability, a better understanding of the deposition processes and morphologies is necessary. Correlative experiments enable a link between a variety of properties obtained, such as chemical, mechanical or electrochemical data.

Massive bleeding and bacterial infection of wounds may be life-threatening or even lead to death. Nowadays, gelatin-based hemostatic sponges have been widely used, but gelatin is not antibacterial and has poor structural stability. In this study, we mixed an antibacterial polypeptide, ε-poly-L-lysine (EPL), into gelatin.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

In this study, we investigated the synergistic potential of bacteriophage vB_SauM-515A1 ( family) and the first-line antibiotic linezolid against the methicillin-resistant strain SA0413Rev. A checkerboard assay revealed a significant synergistic effect against planktonic cells (FIC = 0.

In this work, we study the reducibility of a PdO precursor placed by strong electrostatic adsorption on either NiO or SiO of NiO/SiO obtained by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by HAADF-STEM, quasi- XPS, CO IR spectroscopy and H chemisorption as a function of the reduction temperature and evaluated for their performance in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation. PdO on SiO requires reduction at higher temperatures to achieve appreciable rates of cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.
