TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of HAADF imaging and XEDS compositional analysis in the STEM has given considerable insight into the way in which elemental distributions evolve in these bimetallic catalyst systems during processing and use.

TL;DR: The use of convergent beam electron diffraction patterns (CBPs) for investigating metal-semiconductor interfaces in plan-view samples is considered in this article, where it is shown that a wide-angle diffraction technique provides a sensitive method of measuring tetragonal distortions in NiSi2/(001)Si bicrystals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and discuss the utilisation of gold-based nanoparticles as efficient catalysts for a range of important reactions, with particular emphasis placed on their recent research.

TL;DR: In this article, the growth of epitaxial semiconductor films on GaAs by laser photochemical vapor deposition (LPVD) has been described, and the results provide a clear example of the ability of LPVD to grow epitaxially films under conditions in which growth is not attrib ­ utable to substrate heating or adlayer photolysis but rather to species generated photo- chemically and in the gas phase.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of films have been deposited on Si wafers by the pyrolytic decomposition of disilane in a low pressure CVD reactor at temperatures below 765°C, at a variety of Si2H6 partial pressures.
