Recent studies into the origins of failure of yttria partially stabilised zirconia–porcelain veneered prosthesis have revealed the importance of micro-to-nano scale characterisation of this interface zone. Current understanding suggests that the heat treatment, residual stresses and varying microstructure at this location may contribute to near-interface porcelain chipping. In this study the chemical,...
Lithium ion batteries are a leading energy storage technology for electronic portable devices and hybrid electric vehicles. A long-standing challenge to understand Li ion transport is the fact that this light atom escapes direct detection by X-ray techniques (EDX, XRD and XAS) due to weak scattering and emission properties. Simultaneous characterisation of the structure, chemical composition (including...
The strongest fibres available today are carbon-based, made from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or reduced graphene oxide flakes (RGOFs). Carbon fibres (CFs) were first developed half a century ago. Control of the thermal, chemical and mechanical processing allows obtaining desired combination of structure, strength and stiffness. In practical use, CFs are typically incorporated into larger scale systems...
The need for a combination of a number of observation and analytical methods in a single instrument minimizes the time consuming moving of the studied sample among several devices for different applications and avoids the navigation to the studied object with features in nanometer dimensions. The high-resolution Schottky FE SEM and Ga FIB that allow imaging in different signals were combined with...
