A 2-beam model is used to simulate precession electron diffraction (PED) intensities. It is shown that this model can be inverted with minimal knowledge of the underlying crystal structure, permitting structure factor amplitudes to be deduced directly from measured intensities within the 2-beam approximation. This approach may be used in conjunction with direct methods to obtain correct, kinematically interpretable structure indications for data sets from relatively thin crystals (less than approximately 400A), and an experimental example based on (Ga,In)(2)SnO(5) is presented. The failure of this approach at large thickness is illustrated by an additional data set for MFI zeolite. The 2-beam approximation provides a simple model for PED intensities, and inversion using this model shows advantages over a kinematical approximation. It is however too rough approximation to be of general use and ultimately it is to be hoped that more accurate models with similar ease of use can be derived to treat PED data.

Multipole-moment effects in ion-molecule reactions at low temperatures: part II - charge-quadrupole-interaction-induced suppression of the He + N reaction at collision energies below ·10 K.

We report on an experimental and theoretical investigation of the He + N reaction at collision energies in the range between 0 and ·10 K. The reaction is studied within the orbit of a highly excited Rydberg electron after merging a beam of He Rydberg atoms (He(), is the principal quantum number), with a supersonic beam of ground-state N molecules using a surface-electrode Rydberg-Stark decelerator and deflector. The collision energy is varied by changing the velocity of the He() atoms for a fixed velocity of the N beam and the relative yields of the ionic reaction products N and N are monitored in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

The performance of structured illumination microscopy (SIM) systems depends on the computational method used to process the raw data. In this paper, we present a regularized three-dimensional (3D) model-based (MB) restoration method with positivity constraint (PC) for 3D processing of data from 3D-SIM (or 3-beam interference SIM), in which the structured illumination pattern varies laterally and axially. The proposed 3D-MBPC method introduces positivity in the solution through the reconstruction of an auxiliary function using a conjugate-gradient method that minimizes the mean squared error between the data and the 3D imaging model.

There is increasing use of mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator radiation operating in the wavelength range of 3-5 µm. To expand existing damage data for skin exposure to lasers in this wavelength region, the damage threshold at the wavelength of 3.743 µm was determined in a Guizhou miniature pig model for an exposure duration of 1.

Purpose: Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a therapeutic option offered to high surgical risk patients with lung cancer. Focal lung irradiation in mice is a new preclinical model to help understand the development of lung damage in this context. Here we developed a mouse model of lung stereotactic therapy using arc delivery and monitored the development of lung damage while varying the beam size and dose delivered.

Imaging nano-objects in complex systems such as nanocomposites using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is a challenging task. Due to a very small amount of the material and a matrix effect, the number of generated secondary ions can be insufficient to represent a 3D elemental distribution despite being detected in a mass spectrum. Therefore, a model sample consisting of a ZrCuAg matrix with embedded Al nanoparticles is designed.
